<b>A thoughtful exploration of integrating Buddhist principles into modern life and work.</b><br/><br/> Written as a dialogue between a businessperson and a temple priest, the book bridges ancient wisdom and contemporary challenges. Through mindful listening, daily practices, and a focus on interconnection, it provides practical guidance on achieving balance, purpose, and peace amidst life's noise. Readers are invited to reflect on the meaning of happiness, the value of relationships, and how small, mindful acts can lead to profound change.<br/><br/> Written in a reflective, conversational tone, Matsumoto blends the storytelling approach of a dialogue between two characters-a businessperson and a temple priest-with practical insights. The narrative is deeply rooted in Buddhist philosophy, yet it is simplified and contextualized for a modern audience, especially those engaged in professional and urban life. The author uses vivid imagery, anecdotes, and analogies to make abstract spiritual concepts accessible and to illustrate how mindfulness, interconnectedness, and simplicity can be implemented by anyone seeking balance between work and personal well-being. The inclusion of real-world practices like mindful listening, cleaning, and gratitude rituals makes the book practical, not just philosophical.<br/><br/><i>Work Like a Monk </i>beautifully bridges ancient wisdom and contemporary challenges. It is a practical guide to achieving balance, purpose and peace amidst life's noise.

<b>THE <i>NEW YORK TIMES</i> BESTSELLER, </b><b>March 2022</b><br/><br/>'Inspiring insight from the world's top coach...Goldsmith left me tingling from the journey of reflection I'd been taken on' <b>Bruce Daisley</b>, author of <i>The Joy of Work</i><br/><br/>*********<br/><br/><b>Our lives reside on a continuum that roams between 'fulfilment' on the one end and 'regret' at the other. Where would you place yourself right now? And where do think you should be?</b><br/><br/>In his powerful new framework, the worlds' number one executive coach Marshall Goldsmith explains that there are eight 'satisfactors' that impact our position on the scale. These are happiness, meaning, purpose, achievement, engagement, relationships, health and wealth. And he shows how creating equivalence between (a) the choices, risks and effort made in pursuing the satisfactors and (b) the reward received for doing so, moves us towards fulfilment.<br/><br/>Drawing on examples from his work coaching the CEOs of the world's largest companies, he lays out three simple steps; living your own life, becoming a 'one-trick genius', and committing yourself to 'earning' every day to show how <b>we all have the power to be fulfilled and to live the earned life.</b><br/><br/><b>*********</b><br/><br/>'The advice in this book can help you keep on achieving and, at the same time, do a better job of finding peace and happiness in the process' <b>Amy C. Edmondson</b>, Harvard professor and author of <i>The Fearless Organization</i>

In 2014, Marie Kondo became famous around the world, changed how we live, the relationship we have with the objects around us and taught us how to seek out the joy in our daily lives. Five years later, her Netflix TV show brought her teachings to an even wider audience and introduced to millions her captivating charm and serene presence. And now, another five years have passed and it's time for more surprises and more ground to be broken.<br/><br/>From the time <i>Life-Changing Magic</i> first launched and all through the years that followed, the most compelling questions and keenest interest, from media and readers alike all around the globe were grounded in one key reality: Marie Kondo's Japanese perspective.

The more people learn about Japanese culture the more entranced they become with how Japanese people often combine an ultra-modern lifestyle with a deep respect for ancient customs and traditions on every level. Finally, in Marie Kondo, we have an authentic, world-famous communicator and guide inviting us in, illuminating ancient ways of thinking and how they apply to modern lives around the globe.<br/><br/><i>Letter from Japan</i> is an invitation to explore into customs and traditions, and how these ways of thinking have informed Marie's life and her famous life-changing tidying method.

Huge social changes occurring in real time are leading us to rethink traditional roles in our homes, workplaces and in society. So why do women who outearn their male partners still tend to do more housework and childcare? Why are unemployed men generally happier if their female partners are also unemployed? Why is unpaid labour still seen as a less important contribution than paid work within family units?<br/><br/>In <i>Breadwinners</i>, award-winning science journalist Melissa Hogenboom interviews dozens of female breadwinners, stay-at-home dads and same-sex couples, comparing their stories to the latest research to demonstrate the consequences of changing dynamics. She reveals how pursuing and maintaining power is a key part of every human interaction, affecting every area of our lives. <i>Breadwinners </i>shows how, the closer we look, the easier it is to see the influence of power structures all around us. Ultimately, it gives readers the tools to address imbalances and improve our relationships at home and at work.<br/><br/>If we can share power more equally, we can improve not only our own wellbeing but also recognise how to dismantle social structures that are seemingly set in stone.
