Devotion and Detachment (Paperback)

Paperback. What does a two-thousand-year-old conversation on a battlefield know about the way you freeze, overthink, and burn out at work?The Bhagavad Gita begins at a strange moment: two armies are ready, and the text stops for an eighteen-chapter conversation before a single arrow is loosed. Arjuna, one of the most capable warriors alive, cannot act. He has all the facts. What he lacks is a way to carry the weight of what he knows.Devotion and Detachment reads that conversation for its practical psychology rather than its metaphysics. Across twenty-seven chapters, it places moments from the Gita beside the problems most working people recognise: decision paralysis, outcome anxiety, emotional steadiness under pressure, motivation and burnout, habit, hard calls that affect people you know, perspective that helps and perspective that overwhelms, and the quiet moment of finally committing to a decision.Each chapter follows the same shape: the moment in the text, the concept it illuminates, two real-life examples, a common misconception, an honest complication, a short practice you can actually try, and reflection questions. The book closes with an appendix gathering all twenty-seven practices in one place, plus a discussion guide for teams and reading groups.Written by a working tax professional, this is Book Three, the concluding volume of the Dharma Series, following Dharma and Duty: Tax Lessons from the Mahabharata and Duty and Devotion: Leadership Lessons from the Ramayana.Arjuna's chariot never moves during the entire conversation. Everything that needed to change, changed on the inside first. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
