Sacks has argued, there will be no return to prosperity in the absence of mindfulness, citizens who acquire the self-awareness to live as they ought. Patrick McCarty--award-winning author, 25-year university professor and radio personality--provides the means for the cultivation of mindfulness, a roadmap to joyous living, new horizons of possibility and financial prosperity. This is not your average self-help book. McCarty permits the reader to listen in on his conversations with a McDonald's CEO, an editor of Psychology Today, a writer for Fortune magazine, and other pioneers in contemporary thought. This book is a tour de force of erudition and psychological insight, all in the context of present-day globalization and techno-capitalism. This is a book to savor, to keep on hand always. It is a transformative reading experience, superbly written."
