From Business to Being

This is the story of three executives — a former investment banker at Lehman Brothers, a project manager in the automotive industry and a regional manager at a pharmacy chain — who embark on a quest to find ways out of the "rat race." Their motivation: the desire for more enthusiasm, meaning and authenticity in their work.Through their sensitive yet forthright approach, Hanna Henigin and Julian Wildgruber provide deep insight into the emotional sphere of the otherwise closed world of business leaders and explore the question: to what extent are the crises of today's workplaces crises of consciousness? Can meditation and awareness training help to free people from stress provoking patterns of thinking and behaving, and get back to themselves?
