Booklist Review: "A Buddhist teacher (Kulananda) and founder of a successful consulting firm(Dominic Houder), the authors of this self-help business book build on Buddhist teaching, hoping to show how best to integrate one's material and spiritual needs in order to "find ways to lead a whole life." The book provides a basic primer on Buddhism, showing that its "wheel of life" can "shed light on any aspect of human behavior." By offering genuine examples and easily understood exercises, the authors make it clear that their work is more than just another New Age tonic. It's really a way to a "path of abundance," and whether or not one believes in the power of Buddhism is beside the point. There is no question that the harsh realities of capitalism will always be with us, but the authors suggest that by following the basic precepts outlined here (kindness, generosity, contentment, honesty, and awareness), we may make ourselves better people, thus contributing to a better world. It's not an entirely new message but one that should resonate with many readers."
