Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Die meisten Führungskräfte trainieren alles - außer ihren Geist. Führung wird häufig auf Methoden, Tools und Strategien reduziert. Doch entscheidend ist die Kunst der Selbstführung. Und diese erfordert einen trainierten Geist. Inspiriert von östlicher Weisheit und westlicher Philosophie zeigt Shamsey Oloko in diesem Buch einen praxisnahen und wissenschaftlich fundierten Weg, den Geist systematisch zu schulen. Achtsamkeit, kritisches Denken und philosophische Lebenskunst verbinden sich mit Erkenntnissen aus Psychologie, Neurowissenschaft und Führung. Ein Trainingsprogramm für alle, die klarer denken, gelassener handeln und sich selbst - und damit auch andere - wirksam führen wollen. 'In einer Zeit, in der Führung oftmals mit Geschwindigkeit und Erfolg mit äußerem Status verwechselt wird, erinnert uns auch dieses Werk an eine zeitlose Wahrheit: Wer andere führen möchte, muss zuerst sich selbst führen können. Und wer sich selbst führen möchte, muss seinen eigenen Geist schulen.' Shi Heng Yi, Gründer des Shaolin Temple Europe & SPIEGEL-Bestseller-Autor, aus dem Vorwort 'Dieses Buch ist ein Kompass für unsere komplexe Welt. Es zeigt, wie wir durch die Verbindung von buddhistischer Präsenz und westlicher Urteilskraft den Raum zwischen Reiz und Reaktion nutzen können. Wer lernen will, auch unter Druck kluge und begründete Entscheidungen zu treffen, kommt an dieser Trainingseinheit nicht vorbei.' Nora Dietrich, Psychotherapeutin & Expertin für Mental Health 'Kaum ein Philosoph hat bisher eine Lebenskunst entwickelt, die auf westlichem Denken, östlicher Tradition und Erkenntnissen der Psychologie aufbaut. Shamsey Oloko geht dieses Wagnis ein, indem er zeigt, wie relevant diese drei Denktraditionen für unsere Lebensführung sind.'
