The Art of Retreats (eBook)

Business leaders need to find inner peace if they are to create an inspiring and sustainable future. But how can we develop the strength and foresight we need to lead with purpose when growth and profit are constantly driving our efforts? How can we link our actions with results amid increasing noise and complexity? How can we think strategically and expand our consciousness when technology keeps us hooked to our devices? By introducing periods of retreat, leaders develop greater self-awareness and achieve the clarity, balance, and purpose to do not just what is good for business but also what is right for the world. The Art of Retreats provides simple, practical advice for creating effective solo retreats, from the occasional hour carved into the day to profoundly insightful weekends and more. Drawing on a unique combination of business experience, science, philosophy, and ancient wisdom, it offers deep reflections, practices, and contemplations that will help leaders find peace, resolve, and wisdom in an otherwise hectic life.
