Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Epics at Work is a contemporary non-fiction book that reinterprets India's ancient epics as practical guides for modern professional life. Drawing from the Ramaya?a, the Mahabharata, and the life of Krishna, the book demonstrates that the challenges faced in today's workplaces-leadership crises, ethical dilemmas, burnout, toxic cultures, bad partnerships, career setbacks, and moments of self-doubt-are not new. They have been explored, confronted, and resolved in these epics for thousands of years.Written in an accessible, engaging style grounded in real workplace experiences, Epics at Work avoids academic treatment and religious instruction. It is equally relevant to interns, individual contributors, managers, and founders, reinforcing the idea that the epics were never meant only for kings-but for people navigating responsibility, power, and choice.The book concludes by reframing epic 'weapons' into modern tools-data, culture, strategy, ethics-emphasising that while technologies change, dharma remains the most enduring competitive advantage. The book challenges the modern misconception that engagement with epics or traditional wisdom is disconnected from ambition, employability, or professional success. Instead, it positions epic narratives as living case studies in leadership, decision-making, resilience, teamwork, and accountability. Structured across fourteen narrative-driven chapters, the book chronologically journeys through key epic moments-Samudra Manthan, Rama's exile, Hanuman's leap, the building of Ram Setu, the rise and fall of Indraprastha, the Game of Dice, Agyatvaas, the Bhagavad Gita, and the Kurukshetra war-mapping each directly to modern corporate and startup realities.…
