Winning from Within

Combines insights from Western psychology and Eastern philosophy with practical applications from real business situations and everyday life. This book shows that the ability to achieve mastery over how we interact with each other comes from within, from the "center" where desires, thoughts, feelings, and impulses to take action live side-by-side.
