Corporate Soul - Book Review

Book: Corporate Soul - The Monk within the Manager
Author: Moid Siddiqui

Reading had taken a backseat with too much workload off late. At last, decided to make sometime for reading and the first book that I grabbed from the library was "Corporate Soul - The Monk within the Manager", purely because I found the title interesting. Surprisingly it turned out that it has been on the top of the best seller list in the non-fiction category.

The book begins with the quote:

Not everything that counts can be counted
And not everything that can be counted counts....
-Albert Einstein

The book speaks about spiritual management. Lack of ethical practices is increasing among corporates day-by-day and so emphasis is being given nowadays to maintain one's values at one's workplace. That's precisely why corporate governance has become the buzzword of today. The book attempts to link corporate life to Chinese, Japanese, Greek, Indian, Islamic and Christian philosophy. Siddiqui has put forth his views in lucid language and proves that business values are what make big organizations and every individual should empower himself/herself with such values to provide a strong foundation. Strike a perfect balance between relentless pursuit and personal profit is what the book tries to emphasize. It has a lot of good sayings by great philosophers, a nice read I must say.
