Praise for Workplace Spirituality: A Complete Guide for Business Leaders by Nancy R. Smith

Smith shows us a way to spirituality that is well-integrated into our overall lives and tolerant of differing beliefs, but that still holds each of us accountable to our gods and each other. Her kinder, gentler, and inclusive approach is a welcome antidote to the angry religiosity we see too often in the headlines.

—Robert D. Austin, Harvard Business School professor and co-author of
Artful Making: What Managers Need to Know About How Artists Work

Nancy Smith's thoroughly researched exploration of workplace spirituality draws on sources as diverse as ancient folktales from around the world, books by leading economic experts, and popular news media. It's particularly gratifying that she devotes several chapters to ethics and social responsibility—and that the book not only affirms Smith's own Christian faith but is careful to validate other religious traditions as well.

—Shel Horowitz, author of Principled Profit: Marketing That Puts People First
and founder of the Business Ethics Pledge

Workplace Spirituality is an insightful and comprehensive presentation of an important new focus on spiritual presence. Smith’s up–to–date coverage of recent writings gives the reader a comprehensive intro-duction to important writings in the field. Her wholistic understanding of what the spiritual is means that she not only covers relating at work to the Mystery which is at the center of life, but she also addresses our corresponding response to that encounter in our ethical relationships both in the workplace and in the national and global relationships that are affected by the workplace.

—Stephen Charles Mott, former Professor of Christian Social Ethics, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary; author of A Christian Perspective on Political Thought and
Biblical Ethics and Social Change;  retired pastor

This is the book on spirituality in the workplace we've all been waiting for; short, to the point, and eminently practical.  Nancy Smith has been a significant contributor to the spirit at work community for a long time, and this book will inform, inspire, and guide you to effectively integrate your spiritual values with work that is meaningful and rewarding.

There are many books about spirituality in business -- and there will be lots more. But Workplace Spirituality is the new benchmark against which to measure them. Loaded with useful information, meticulously researched, beautifully organized, Workplace Spirituality explores every facet of the movement and delivers the kind of data that grassroots implementors from HR to the CEO will revel in. Hats off to Nancy Smith.
