Legend has it that as the sage Lao~Tzu was leaving the country of Chou at the end of his life in the sixth century B.C.E., a frontier guard asked him to write something that would teach the art of living. The result was a text called the Tao Te Ching. It is the world's oldest leadership manual, written to help everyone who is in a position of power ~ farmer, landlord, parent, head of household, local politician, head of state ~ to turn that position into an opportunity for creating both inner and outer harmony. Widely considered the wisest book ever written, the Tao Te Ching shows leaders how to guide their communities to peaceful productivity and happiness. James Autry and Stephen Mitchell have now brought this wisdom to bear on the most significant arena of life outside family: work. "Management," writes Autry, "is a calling, a sacred trust in which the well~being of other people is put into your care during most of their waking hours." Real Power will change the way working people look at how they spend this time, and shows how to create an environment in which everyone's power can be expressed in order to produce the best results for everyone. Autry and Mitchell make clear the paradoxes of winning at work: that only when we learn to let go of the illusion of control can we empower others and ourselves; that conventional displays of power are the least effective ways to get things done; that helping our competition (inside or outside the company) can bring us the greatest benefit; that employees already have power in their skills, their commitment to their job, and their passion for their work. "In Real Power, Autry and Mitchell demonstrate that ancient wisdom is good business. This unique partnership uses the time~tested lessons of the past to enable success in today's business world. Real Power is a guidebook no serious person can afford to miss. It will change the way you work and deepen the way you live." ~RACHEL NAOMI REMEN, M.D. author of Kitchen Table Wisdom. Read the book straight through, contemplate a piece from the middle, or skip around to find what suits you. Each of the brief, poetic essays commenting on a selection from the Tao Te Ching carries an essential lesson which can be held throughout the day as a reminder of how to build an ideal environment. Integrating the elegant wisdom of Real Power can transform the workplace from a source of stress into one of deep creativity and even joy. Whether you're at the top of the corporate ladder, the middle, or the bottom, this guide will help you make your work fulfilling on every level from financial to personal.

First Edition Signed
Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 745 pages. Published in 1998. Massive collection of essays on subject. One of the greatest books of the 20th century. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now rare. Publisher's "Autographed Copy" round white sticker pasted in front. Presents Harold Bloom's "Shakespeare: The Invention of The Human". The crowning achievement of Bloom's genius: A 745-page celebration - "commentary" does not quite do justice in this context - of the one writer that he, very controversially, regards as the greatest literary artist of all time, the beginning, the middle, and the end of everything, in effect AND affect. The central narrative of Harold Bloom's life-work is the existential struggle between "authority" and "personality". Whether it's specifically between orthodoxy versus heresy, The Holy Bible versus The Book of J, normative Judaism and Christianity versus mystical Kabbalah/Gnosticism, "personality" is triumphant because it is more expressive, more subtle, and more multitudinous whereas "authority" inevitably becomes predictable, rigid, and ossified. The idea of "personality" is not just articulated, but sublimely dramatized by Bloom. He credits Shakespeare with inventing it, and devotes a definitive essay to each of the plays, emphasizing their "personality" and influence on all subsequent literature, feeling, and thought. "Before Bloom is done with us, he has made us wonder whether his vision of Shakespeare's influence on the whole of our lives might not simply be the sobering truth. A feast of arguments and insights, written with engaging frankness and affecting immediacy. Filled with literally thousands of insights" (Daniel Hintzsche). "The ultimate use of Shakespeare is to let him teach you to think too well and towards whatever truth you can sustain without perishing" (Harold Bloom). An absolute "must-have" title for Harold Bloom collectors. This Autographed Copy is very prominently and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on the publisher's tipped-in page by Harold Bloom. This title is a great book. As far as we know, this is the only such pre-signed copy of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing (American) available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: The publisher issued a limited number of pre-signed copies, which vanished from bookstores (within a day of their release in 1998). No such copies have resurfaced since, more than twenty years later (as of 2019), which means that collectors have held on to them. Copies available online have serious flaws, are subsequent printings, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare signed copy thus. The greatest literary critic of our time on the greatest writer of all time. A fine collectible copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER HAROLD BLOOM TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 1573221201. Signed by Author.
