Summary: This is my Business Bible
Review: I purchased this book in 1987 just before starting my business. "Honest Business" affirmed every belief I had about how business should and could be practiced. Even concepts such as a business' responsibility to the community it conducts business in is discussed in depth. "Honest Business" gave me the courage and the steps for conducting business without foresaking my personal principles, morals, and objective. Even today this book is my constant companion; my business bible.

Summary: good advice on money; but nothing spiritual about it
Review: The book is what it seems--a commonsense introduction to everyday business practice in a lovely little edition with a nice price--but for one thing. The authors are not what you might expect from this publisher, people interested in higher consciousness (for lack of a better term), but perfectly ordinary capitalist apologists of the same sort the business schools (and I am a graduate of one!) turn out every day. On the west coast even the bankers mouth a few bland whole-earth type new-ageisms here and there, I suppose; enough to get published by Shambhala, anyway. Buy it for business advice only and save your soul elsewhere, if you have one left to save after you're done worshipping the author's god, Mammon.
