 good advice on money; but nothing spiritual about it July 1, 2001
The book is what it seems--a commonsense introduction to everyday business practice in a lovely little edition with a nice price--but for one thing. The authors are not what you might expect from this publisher, people interested in higher consciousness (for lack of a better term), but perfectly ordinary capitalist apologists of the same sort the business schools (and I am a graduate of one!) turn out every day. On the west coast even the bankers mouth a few bland whole-earth type new-ageisms here and there, I suppose; enough to get published by Shambhala, anyway. Buy it for business advice only and save your soul elsewhere, if you have one left to save after you're done worshipping the author's god, Mammon.
How to succeed with integrity in the workplace. September 29, 1999
A refreshing restoration of faith that you CAN make money without compromising your ethics. An excellent read that you will refer to again and again.
This is my Business Bible April 19, 1999
I purchased this book in 1987 just before starting my business. "Honest Business" affirmed every belief I had about how business should and could be practiced. Even concepts such as a business' responsibility to the community it conducts business in is discussed in depth. "Honest Business" gave me the courage and the steps for conducting business without foresaking my personal principles, morals, and objective. Even today this book is my constant companion; my business bible.
Great help for the entrepreneur to think 'outside-the-box' April 5, 1999
This excellent book offers a unique and fresh approach that can be very valuable for the entrepreneur. The concept of the book flies in the face of the conventional wisdom that many business fail because they are under capitalized. Instead the authors make a great case for businesses failing because they are OVER capitalized. When a business start up has a very tight budget, genuine imagination and creativity kick in. It is this personal input into a business that can set it above its competition. This book is a great inspiration for the person who is toying around with the idea of starting their own business.
Absolutely love this book! December 30, 1998
When starting my own business, the title "Honest Business" drew my eye like none other. The idea that honesty is not counterproductive, but is indeed a building block for success in business was invaluable to me. The review of "Four Honest Men Who Changed Busines" was also incredibly enlightening. I have been looking for my own copy of this book for over 2 years. I really wish that someone would re-print it!
