La Espiritualidad en los Negocios, por Jaime Mescoulam Hay aspectos de la vida cotidiana que son tan dispares entre sí, que el hecho de pretender unirlos sería algo similar a querer juntar perfectamente agua con aceite, éxito con humildad o espiritualidad con negocios y dinero. Justamente es sobre esta mezcla -casi imposible de lograr para muchos- de lo que Jaime Meschoulam, reconocido empresario, deportista y conferencista, nos habla en su primer libro, Espiritualidad en los negocios, y nos plantea que puede ser justo lo contrario. Por medio de un relato sólidamente fundamentado, no solo en una rica tradición familiar, sino también en diversos enfoques espirituales de las principales religiones monoteístas, el lector irá descubriendo que este vínculo no solo es posible, sino que incluso es muy deseable y que, en estos tiempos, tan plenos de retos de todos tipos, adoptar un enfoque espiritual tendría que ser el camino de todos aquellas personas que llevan a cabo una actividad empresarial, un emprendimiento o que simplemente desean mejorar y enriquecer su espiritualidad, aspecto vital de nuestra esencia humana.

The Art of Happiness at Work by The Dalai Lama, Howard C. Cutler MD, B.D. Wong Over the past several years, Howard Cutler has continued his conversations with the Dalai Lama, asking him the questions we all want answered about how to find happiness in the place we spend most of our time. Work-whether it's in the home or at an office-is what mostly runs our lives. We depend on it to eat, to clothe and shelter ourselves, and to take care of our families. Beginning with a direct correlation between productivity and happiness, Dr. Cutler questions His Holiness about the nature of work. In psychiatry and according to the Dalai Lama, our motivation for working determines our level of satisfaction. The book explores three levels of focus: survival, career, and calling. Once again, Cutler walks us through the Dalai Lama's reasoning so that we know how to apply the wisdom to daily life. This practical application of Buddhist ideas is an invaluable source of strength and peace for anyone who earns a living.
