The world is finally ready to discover that spirituality is in fact the very basis of all our most profitable business transactions (even in atheists, and in strictly secular people). Spirituality isn’t something we put into business; business is something that we have already put into spirituality. God Goes to Work explains why spirituality is the most underused resource in the economy. It is akin to a nation sitting on an ocean of oil without ever really thinking about drilling for it, even as the structure of everything around them starts to falter. In fact, the low productivity most companies and individuals are running at, is in part, a result of failing to tap into the spiritual energy available to them. God Goes To Work explains how people of all stripes can learn to use “spiritual currency” in business, to achieve new levels of success. A good book on business must give us something to expand our understanding of how to create more profit, and this book does exactly that.
