Book - The Corporate Sufi

Weekly Eye Opener:

"We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves. If what we are now has been the result of our own past actions, it certainly follows that whatever we wish to be in future can be produced by our present actions; so we have to know how to act."
~ Swami Vivekananda

The Corporate Sufi applies timeless Sufi principles to the modern corporate world, examining the uncommon connection between an age-old philosophy for living and working in the 21st century. Underscoring the illuminating link between living as a Sufi and as a corporate person, this book illustrates the importance of a happy marriage between these two supposedly different worlds. It includes practical tips on:

How to fuse your life's mission with your corporate mission
How to apply the "inside out" Sufi approach to corporate life
How the Sufi search for the essence can be linked to the search for the corporate soul
How to use the Sufi faith in the unknown when navigating uncharted corporate territory
How to apply the Sufi approach to eliminating the ego in order to become a selfless corporate leader

Who is a corporate Sufi? A corporate Sufi is a person who has the ambition to do well in a worldly sense by becoming (or remaining) a CEO or president, acquiring wealth, being ambitious, and raising a familyÐall this without compromising Sufi principles. The corporate Sufi understands that you are an instrument or vessel through which you take from one hand and give with another.

Living as a corporate Sufi ultimately leads to what all human beings want: lasting happiness. We climb the corporate ladder not just for the sake of it but because we believe that corporate success will bring us what often seems so elusive: inner happiness, contentment, and satisfaction.

The events of September 11, 2001 have changed the way people think and live. We question the meaning of life. We have seen that everything we value and work for can come to an end in an instant. We realize there is more to life than just amassing wealth and dying empty handed. The Corporate Sufi will guide you to live a life in an integrated manner where everything you do is grounded in principles and spiritual merit. It will make you approach life in such a manner that you live your spiritual life as if you will die tomorrow and you live your worldly life as if you will live forever. So you are happy and prepared whether you die tomorrow or live-forever. What a great feeling to have!
