Loving Monday

Succeeding in Business without Selling Your Soul

by John D. Beckett

Instead of grinding it out until Friday and living for weekends, a successful Ohio manufacturing executive has seen how his work can be filled with meaning and purpose. The key is integrating his work and his beliefs. As a result, both grow -- along with a love for Mondays. The lessons learned by John Beckett apply whether you work at a deli or head a Fortune 500 company. Here is a book for everyone who wants to succeed in business without selling out.
