內容簡介:
What would you be willing to do for the rest of your life...?
It''s a question most of us consider only hypothetically-opting
instead to "do what we have to do" to earn a living. But in the
critically acclaimed bestseller "The Monk and the Riddle",
entrepreneurial sage Randy Komisar asks us to answer it for real.
The book''s timeless advice - to make work pay not just in cash, but
in experience, satisfaction, and joy - will be embraced by anyone
who wants success to come not just from what they do, but from who
they are.At once a fictional tale of Komisar''s encounters with a
would-be entrepreneur and a personal account of how Komisar found
meaning not in work''s rewards but in work itself, the book
illustrates what''s wrong with the mainstream thinking that we
should sacrifice our lives to make a living. Described by
Fortune.com as "part personal essay, part fictional narrative and
part meditation on the nature of work and life," "The Monk and the
Riddle" is essential reading on the art of creating a life while
making a living. ''Belongs in a category by itself...The best thing
I''ve read all year'' - "San Francisco Examiner". ''A timely book'' -
"USA Today".
''A self-help manual and business fable rolled into one'' - "The
Times, London".
