Mastering Successful Work

Mastering Successful Work: Skillful Means, Wake Up! by Tarthang Tulku, was created to help readers live cheerfully, work with good results, and profit from knowledge in any circumstance. For those who have been successful, it offers opportunities to discover in work a quality that gives a new sense of meaning. As a result, the principles set forth in this book applie to almost everyone and to virtually every discipline. Part One sets forth central themes— knowledge, time, and awareness, Part Two introduces structures for accomplishment: paying attention, taking responsibility, discipline, communication, and sharing knowledge. Part Three presents exercises for transforming attitudes and approaches: recognizing and overcoming negative patterns. Part Four includes more advanced supplemental exercises, leading up to tools for transformation, and concluding with a list of good business practices. Together, the motivation chapters and the exercises have a structure and progression that can be followed by individuals working on their own or incorporated into Skillful Means seminars and programs.
