| Summary |
In How We Work, author Leah Weiss explains that nothing provides more opportunities for negative emotions, anxiety, anger, envy, fear, and paranoia, to name a few, than the dynamics of the workplace. The good news is that these feelings matter. How we feel at and about work matters to ourselves, to the quality of our work, and ultimately to the success of the organizations for which we work. The path to productivity and success, says Weiss, is not to change jobs, to compartmentalize our feelings, or to create a false "professional" identity, but rather to listen to the wisdom our feelings offer. In How We Work, Weiss offers a set of practical strategies for practicing mindfulness in the real world, showing readers not just how to survive another day, but how to use ancient wisdom traditions to sharpen their abilities, enhance their leadership and interpersonal skills, and improve their satisfaction. |
