Office Sutras: Exercises for Your Soul at Work by Marcia Menter
Does your personal spiritual journey take a hiatus the minute you walk
into work, then resumes on the way home? Well, no, and this book
helps us to realize that our jobs, no matter how imperfect, hectic, or
brain numbing, are part of our spiritual journey, whether we recognize it
or not. You spend so much time there, why not make the most of
it? Instead of just bringing home the bacon, add some spiritual
growth on the side.

are....stuck. Read
