Book Review/IntroducingWaiting for the Mountain to Moveby Charles HandyJossey-Bass, 1999 Wise and inspirational thoughts on life, work, religion, and spirituality from the world's preeminent business philosopher. Why do we work? How can we be the sort of person we know we can be? And what is life about, anyway? These brief essays, many originally written as 3-minute radio spots, are short flashes of wisdom and inspiration that illuminate and explore these and other questions we grapple with (or ought to) every day. For many years, Handy broadcast the "Thought for the Day" on BBC radio's Today program, a time-slot often referred to as "the God slot" as it was previously occupied by ministers and other people of the cloth. Handy transformed the three-minute spot into a wide-ranging rumination on why we work, how we relate to others in our work and life, the meaning of trust, and how our "beliefs shed light on the countless dilemmas and worries that make up the workaday world." At turns thought provoking, inspirational, and practical, this is a valuable collections of essays by the leading business philosopher-writer of our times.
