This is the book for you, if you feel like you are losing your soul in the midst of the dark Corporate wood. If you've ever been asked to fire someone who was doing a good job, or if your knee-jerk response to your boss is 'yes' and that still bothers you, read 'The Heart Aroused'. If you agree with, "Work almost always becomes a platform for self-righteous moralizing. So much is at stake...", read 'The Heart Aroused'. If you have inspirational posters from Hallmark or the Franklin Planner folks on your office walls, it's probably too late to read this book. I'm sorry, but you've already lost your soul.
