Synopsis:

"The Wisdom of Solomon at Work" helps readers examine their own lives and work as they journey toward wisdom. Those with a Judeo-Christian background will reconnect with spiritual views, history and symbols from the Old Testament. Those from other faith traditions, will learn from stories about work and relationships that have withstood the test of time. The dramatic stories of Job, David, Ruth, Moses and Solomon are drawn on to raise timeless questions of the human condition that have existed since ancient biblical times. This book opens a valuable wisdom source that is relevant to contemporary work and life. Real-life stories - like that of Aaron Feuerstein who risked his life savings to breath life back into his company, Malden Mills, after a devastating fire - show how spiritual wisdom can intersect with work life.
