This book is about using work as a avenue of personal development. Because the author is a highly realized Tibetan Lama, it also touches on spiritual development as well. The basic goal of the book is to address the malaise that infects the Western approach to work that makes 75% (?) of us say we do not enjoy the work we do. The exercises and theory provided are intended to help the reader and practitioner develop a new approach to work and life that is based in mindfulness, awareness, concentration which leads to balance, inner freedom and joy under all circumstances.

Work is an effective means for learning how to have deep satisfaction in life. There is no real limitation to what we can accomplish. When we use skillful means, we directly approach work, take immediate action to solve our problems, and uncover the strength of or natural abilities.
Page iv, added by Mela Givens.

Because it describes what it means to adopt a skillful means approach, and the results from doing so.

The human values and qualities that spring naturally from an full engagement with work and life: integrity, honesty, loyalty, responsibility, and cooperation.
