Profit with Presence

The Twelve Pillars of Mindful Leadership

By: Dr. Eric J. Holsapple

Narrated by: Dr. Eric J. Holsapple

It’s time for leaders to join the mindful business revolution and find true success.

Although the world is currently abuzz with the term “mindfulness,” some believe mindfulness is a fringe activity to be practiced before or after the workday, if at all. Too few business professionals take the time needed to be present and aware throughout the workday, which is counterproductive. Dr. Eric Holsapple, successful developer and entrepreneur, has realized the value of mindfulness as not only a path to personal success, but as a sound business strategy.

Mindfulness and Presence can transform business culture, improving focus and communication while reducing distractions and stress. Holsapple learned this lesson years ago, after achieving “success” as defined by society but still feeling unhappy and stressed. In Profit with Presence, he shares the lessons he learned and his twelve pillars for personal and business success, which are easy to understand and implement through practice exercises.

Holsapple shows that bringing mindfulness to the workplace is an investment that pays out real dividends. Listeners will learn from his journey—along with support from other mindful leaders and research—to help them bring mindfulness to themselves as well as their families, businesses, and communities. Now is the time for leaders to invest in the mindful business movement and become part of the solution.

Great book, important topic

Overall, I found the book to be intelligently structured, well-articulated, and highly relevant for the world today. The compiled research and perspectives on mindfulness and presence was impressive. I also found the author’s personal anecdotes and stories to be particularly powerful and helpful. Lastly, I noticed and appreciated the tone of humility present thru the author’s honest acknowledgments that living, applying, and embodying the ideas in this book is a practice— he does not put himself on a pedestal, nor try to present himself as perfect, which to me shows he is living his message.

Great book, great content.
