This book follows on from the international bestseller The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari and features the extraordinary lawyer turned monk, Julian Mantle. In this book he returns to the west to help an old friend transform his company using the leadership rituals that he learned from the ancient mystics with whom he lived. These 8-rituals of leadership blend cutting edge business knowledge with ancient wisdom and define the true nature of leadership. They are easy to use and will have a powerful effect on the way people think about any organization.

Everyone loves a good fable, and this is certainly one. The protagonist is Julian Mantle, a high-profile attorney with a whacked-out schedule and a shameful set of spiritual priorities. Of course it takes a crisis (heart attack) to give Mantle pause. And pause he does--suddenly selling all his beloved possessions to trek India in pursuit of a meaningful existence. The Himalayan gurus along the way give simple advice, such as, "What lies behind you and what lies before you is nothing compared to what lies within you." Yet it is easy to forgive the story's simplicity because each kernel of wisdom is framed to address the persistent angst of Western white-collar professionals.
