Publisher's Summary

A book that distils the greatest mystic lessons for leadership and success, with deep insights for today’s times and for the future. The book highlights the key principles and values of Buddha’s root-level consciousness teachings. For overall excellence in life, it has become vital to understand these lessons.  

Gautam Buddha is perhaps the most influential person ever in the study of human consciousness. He is considered the ninth avatar in the ancient Indian philosophy of divine cyclic manifestation and the paragon of virtue when it comes to instilling values for leadership and success within human beings. Particularly during the tough times being faced by the world today, Buddha’s teachings assume an even greater importance.  

Buddha’s influence is far-reaching and profound. For example, Japanese management theory is based largely on Buddha’s key principles in one way or another. Steve Jobs (a practising Buddhist) built Apple Computer while being powerfully influenced by Zen aesthetics, which are offshoots of Buddha’s most profound teachings (the whole basis of Apple is Zen-like). The beauty of ‘Buddha’s way’ is that literal words are not as important as the cultivation of insight (prajna), a spiritual attitude towards all things and understanding the underlying principles that determine excellence in all spheres of life. His spiritually inspired wisdom principles and keys touch all aspects of human behaviour, including leadership psychology and the spirit of teamwork, and are particularly relevant for creating values that can lead to higher achievement, real fulfilment and true success. 

Leaders throughout history - Ashoka the Great, Chinese emperors, Japan’s samurai warlords and so on - have been deeply influenced by Buddha’s consciousness teachings. The West was influenced in a rather subtle way: Alexander’s expedition to India was not just military, but also one of ideas where his people carried back several aspects of Buddha’s mystic philosophy and integrated them with the West’s. 

The power of the Buddha’s teachings is universal and timeless, leading to personal excellence that is admired, followed and most of all - respected!

Only preachings

Its just preachings - no guidance as to how - if you looking for peaceful readings - this one is not for you.

Your every other friend will tell you “chill”.. if only you knew how, you wouldn’t be looking for these books.

Perception and prefrenc of what world needs to be

It was amazing experience and life changing specially for leaders to become and how thought process of a leader should be , it focuses upon the greater thought of humanity than the Buddhism, good for gifting someone with one biased opinion and who os ready to listen and open their minds towards wholeness of the world
