August Turak is a successful entrepreneur, corporate executive, and
award-winning author who attributes much of his success to living
and working alongside the Trappist monks of Mepkin Abbey for
seventeen years. As a frequent monastic guest, he learned firsthand
from the monks as they grew an incredibly successful portfolio of
businesses. Service and selflessness are at the heart of the
1,500-year-old monastic tradition's remarkable business success. It
is an ancient though immensely relevant economic model that
preserves what is positive and productive about capitalism while
transcending its ethical limitations and internal contradictions.
Combining vivid case studies from his thirty-year business career
with intimate portraits of the monks at work, Turak shows how
Trappist principles can be successfully applied to a variety of
secular business settings and to our personal lives as well. He
demonstrates that monks and people like Warren Buffett are wildly
successful not despite their high principles but because of them.
Turak also introduces other "transformational organizations" that
share the crucial monastic business strategies so critical for
success.
