"Work is very much part of modern life. Most see it as a necessary evil at best or a ball and chain of a burden one has to carry to get by at worst. These 35 principles can truly open one's perspective and make work not only as a part of life you can accept, but a place that can give you the opportunities to use them to grow spiritually. The freedom and clarity one can gain by being open to the book's pointers to approaching work can also change the way you approach life in general. Truly thought-provoking..."
