Product Description:
From Dagwood to Dilbert, the past fifty years haven't seen much evolution in our attitudes toward work. Too many of us still believe that our work selves and our real selves, our professional and personal lives, are separate entities. This book is about how that concept is slowly, but surely, changing. It is about why it is changing. And, most important, it is about why it must change. C. Michael Thompson takes a compelling look at the connection between our inner lives and our work lives and shows how the development of the individual spirit can trigger not just personal fulfillment, but much-needed organizational change.

I had high expectations of this book but was let down. The author starts on the right foot but loses momentum. I got to the middle of the book and felt that the only way to live a congruent life is to leave my job and become a monk! His tone and attitude toward work are VERY negative. The author is also very "preachy". He is pretentious and writes in "holier that thou" language. Awakening Corporate Soul is much better.

C. Michael Thompson does an excellent job with a challenging subject. A challenging book to read because you have to really think through the issues, ideas and concept presented. Very timely book, given the issues of business, life and how to balance the competing demands. Well thought out concepts, good use of example and appropriate use of concepts. I have had this on my bedside and travel bag for the past year, and I am still digesting all the wisdom.

I had the great fortune of meeting Michael Thompson at a Leadership course I was attending, and after spending several hours with him, I realized he had a message to deliver to me and to others. I picked up his book, The Congruent Life, and after reading it and re-reading it, I was able to start to make sense of my place in life. Reading this book has been a catalyst for change in my life.
For the masses out there looking for meaning in their work, for those feeling disconnected and lost, Michael ... Read More

In this bold book, courageously written by an author who has tasted business success and found it bland, we are challenged to rethink the values we have been taught since preschool-that "success" is measured in quantitative terms, that "happiness" is having the most toys, and that "making it" in business means you have to sacrifice all other aspects of your life-especially the spiritual aspect. He quickly points out that "spiritual" and "religious" are not the same thing. Then he makes a strong ... Read More

I am the co-owner of a growing software supply company. As you may have guessed, my business does not leave much time for private time, much less time for spirtual reflection. However, I attended a business conference and was recommmended this book. I can not stress enough how helpful it has been. My life feels fufilled - it is now "connected." I no longer feel as if I am leading two lives: one at the office,and one at home. I would recommend The Congruent Life to anyone who feels that their ... Read More
