Philosophy purists take note: yes, this
is a business self-help book. But Tom
Morris has plenty of philosophical street
credibility: after getting his Ph.D. from
Yale, he taught for 15 years at the
University of Notre Dame (where stunts
like bringing the ND marching band to
class for an impromptu "pep rally" before
a big test made him one of the most
popular professors on campus). And Morris
isn't dumbing down his message for the
corporate culture. Rather, he's genuinely
interested in fostering a workplace
environment where one can seriously think
about truth, beauty, goodness, and
unity.
"If we let the great philosophers guide
our thinking," he says, "and if we then
begin to become philosophers ourselves, we
put ourselves in the very best position to
move towards genuine excellence, true
prosperity, and deeply satisfying success
in our businesses, our families, and our
lives. Why should we settle for anything
less?" Why indeed?
