This outstanding pocket-sized, hardcover book is an excellent reminder of what is required of a leader. Most leaders need reminding everyday that with their privileges comes responsibility and obligation. If any young man or woman seeking to become a leader and not a manager only reads one book on leadership, let it be this one!

Swami Kriyananda (J. Donald Walters) , a direct disciple of the great master, Paramhansa Yogananda, is an internationally known author, lecturer, and composer. Widely recognized as one of the world's foremost authorities on meditation and yoga, he has taught these principles and techniques to hundreds of thousands of students around the world.

In 1968, Kriyananda founded Ananda Village in Nevada City, California, dedicated to spreading the spirit of friendship, service, and community throughout the world. Ananda is recognized as one of the most successful intentional communities in the world; over 1,000 people reside in Ananda communities in the US, India, and Italy. The European retreat and community located in Assisi, Italy, also serves Ananda meditation groups in Europe, Croatia, and Russia.

Ananda Village is also home to The Expanding Light, a world-renowned guest retreat facilities where thousands of visitors annually visit for renewal or instruction in many aspects of meditation, yoga, and the spiritual life. The nearby Ananda Meditation Retreat, located on Ananda's first property, function both as a retreat and as the site for Ananda's Institute of Alternative Living.

An advocate of simple living and high thinking, his more than 90 books covering a wide range of subjects emphasize the need to live wisely by one's own experience of life, and not by abstract theories or dogmas.

A composer since 1964, Kriyananda has written over 400 musical works. His music is inspiring, soothing, and uplifting. Many of his later albums are instrumental works with brief affirmations or visualizations. Chuck Dilberto, of Awareness Magazine says, "[His] words and music are full of his life and light. His sole intention is to heal, something we could all use during these chaotic times."

Through Crystal Clarity Publishers, his works, have sold over 3 million copies worldwide and been translated into over 25 languages.

Great leadership summary

This little book distills the complexities of leadership into a practical guide. It nails the basics.

Belongs in Any Library

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 29, 2010

This is a great little book. Walters' leadership style and approach closely mirrors my own. While the book is very short and compact, the lessons and principles are vast and timeless. There are quotable passages throughout the writing, and while the approach is simple, it is far from simplistic. Walters breaks up leadership into what it is and what it is not. For example, he notes that leadership is not an ego game, but it is responsibility, self sacrifice, service, loyalty, intuition, flexible, action oriented, supportive and mentoring. Each of these topics is discussed in a separate chapter, with each chapter neatly summarized in a series of rules to live by.

The other emphasis made by Walters is that leadership is an art, not a science - and perfection is a direction not an attainment. These concepts emphasize continuous improvement, but understanding - a trait that many leaders need to develop.

A great little book that belongs in any library.

THE ART OF INTEGRITY

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 9, 2006

Verified Purchase

I've read many books on management, and I've read many books on leadership, but J. Donald Walters, a successful entrepreneur who has several thriving and growing businesses in different industries, has done a masterful job of capturing and presenting the essence of true leadership in an inspirational coffee table book that eloquently and concisely defines what a true leader is, how a true leader thinks, and most importantly, what a true leader does.

The person who is pressed for time, or short on patience, will take lessons away from this book that can improve their management skills and tranform their organization with integrity actions that build trust, engender devotion, and create a vortex of positive energy. Perfect for those graduating from business school, or those in a position of authority who are looking for sage advice and techniques on how to lead your organization or company to success in harmony. The price almost makes it free so "steal" your copy today.
