Thich Nhat Hanh
HarperOne (2007)
Having read a few of Thich Nhat Hanh’s books before and enjoying them, I was inclined to see how he would deal with the subject of power.
“Power is good for one thing only: to increase our happiness and the happiness of others,” he states. Revealing that true power comes from within. The Art of Power helps us understand and grasp our never ending search for external markers, the labels of our desire that are must in our lives. He challenges these assumptions and helps us understand learning about our inner strength.
Through mindfulness, we progress in a way of things working out more in our favor. Seeing clearly, allows better decisions with more constructive results. We might find more happiness with correct diligence and proper insight. The practice of caring and observing give us more power at work and home, to be more attentive with more correct vision.
Ending this fine book is Appendix B, “Work and Pleasure: The Example of Patagonia,” a fine essay on using business to tap into understanding spiritual power. Practicing business with compassion and contribution
