Klappentext

The Bhagavad Gita is a philosophical and spiritual poem about truth, duty, good actions and the purpose of life. This book collates the wisdom it offers and applies it to contemporary life and work offering lessons on how to foster excellence and fulfilment in today's competitive world. The corporate world and the contemporary society focus on winning, performing, and developing a competitive edge. Gita for Work and Life offers readers a deeper philosophical understanding of the interconnectedness of all beings, the importance of self-reflection and improvement, purpose, duty, morality, equanimity and peace. These guiding principles provided by Krishna to Arjuna in the Bhagavad Gita are meant to rekindle the dormant human spirit and inspire the reader to elevate their understanding of the mind and soul and how these relate to their work. The book explores themes such as depression management, realised action, knowing oneself, work and fulfilment, balance and discipline, material and spiritual knowledge and raja yoga among others.

A unique work, this will be a valuable resource for corporate leaders, middle and senior managers, and those interested in leadership, management and organisational studies. Leadership practitioners will also benefit from the accessible and practical lessons this book has to offer.
