I Ching and business
Rating  (3)
Date: 2007-11-16
Author uses her theological education and eastern philosophy of five thousand year old I, Ching book to explain common issues in the business world. If you are looking for a comprehensive book on how to ask for a raise do not get your hopes up. There is actually only one question that pertains to that issue. You would be better off to read Napoleon Hill's "How to give yourself a raise?" book if you are looking for answers on the question of a salary raise. There are many good advices on the issues related to workplace. It is quick and easy to read book, but its down to earth common sense, makes one realize that it is difficult to stay with the book for a long time. At least in my case, my mind would trail off because either the question or the answer was too mundane. Or perhaps, I just read too many career developemnt and business books in the past. In any case, I got interested in I Ching again and that I am planning to explore after finishing up this book.

This book is a great read for anyone interested in the practical applications of philosophy, or even someone looking for the right spiritual answers to day-to-day work problems. Carol Osborn has taken the learnings of the ancient Chinese scripture I Ching and applied them to a hundred commonly faced modern-day work situations. The solutions presented are not quick-fix, step-by-step guides on what to do but to someone who has a little bit of faith, they can open up a lot of doors. Most importantly, they force one to think deeply about each situation and what it means in one's life. Definitely a handy book to have around.
