An engaging exploration of what makes work meaningful, by a popular Buddhist monk and cultural commentator

In our hectic days filled with long hours, endless emails, and tedious virtual meetings, it's hard to stay connected to the higher purpose of work - to see past the grind and embrace what we're really trying to achieve.

In this engaging and illuminating book, Japanese Buddhist monk Shoukei Matsumoto offers a fresh take on what it means to find satisfaction at work. Presented in the form of an imagined conversation between a businessperson and a temple priest, this far-ranging exploration covers everything from embracing simplicity and communicating with clarity to insights on avoiding burnout and the importance of daily rituals. Along the way, you'll discover ancient wisdom and contemporary ideas - all thoughtfully presented in the context of modern daily life.

Whether you're a recent graduate or a seasoned professional, this meaningful guide offers a fresh perspective, and more intentional way forward.
