This book shows how to make work into a path of realization and transformation- an art form that blends practical results, deep enjoyment, and inner fulfillment. It presents a step by step approach to cutting through obstacles, developing our inner resources (awareness, concentration, and energy), and getting inspiring results that benefit everyone. Immensely practical, Mastering Successful Work includes over 80 exercises, most of which can be done on the job. Accessible to everyone, but meditators who have wondered how to apply meditation to work will find much value here.

Part One sets forth central themes of knowledge, time, and awareness

Part Two introduces structures for accomplishment: paying attention, taking responsibility, discipline, communication, and sharing knowledge.

Part Three presents exercises for transforming attitudes and approaches: recognizing and overcoming negative patterns.

Part Four includes more advanced supplemental exercises, leading up to tools for transformation, and concluding with a list of good business practices. Together, the motivation chapters and the exercises have a structure and progression that can be followed by individuals working on their own or incorporated into Skillful Means seminars and programs.
