Nasrudin is the archetypal wise fool, who lived in the Middle East
over 600 years ago, his stories have travelled the world and been
updated in every generation. Peter Hawkins has given a modern spin
to 84 of these stories by turning Nasrudin into a management
consultant. Simple truths are told in a straightforward and highly
entertaining way. They shock us into seeing situations and ideas
with which we have become familiar from a different perspective.
Each story slips into our house by its engaging good humour, but
once inside it can start to rearrange the furniture and knock new
windows through the walls of our mind - a process that can be
releasing and refreshing, but at times disconcerting! The book also
provides an introduction to Nasrudin and his stories, and a chapter
on "Telling Tales; the positive use of stories in organisations."
