Jewish Wisdom for Business Success: Lessons for the Torah and Other Ancient Texts

I initially read a sample of the book downloaded to my Kindle and was sold on the concept at the first sentence -- "Why have so many Jews been successful at business?" The authors continue on to document the disproportionate success of Jewish people, ultimately attributing it to a few basic teachings from the Torah that have become staples of the Jewish culture. Surprisingly, many of the concepts seem to be common sense (conquer fear, find your passion, don't make emotional decisions, etc.), but the authors explain the spiritual principles that act as the foundation for success with specific examples from the Torah and other ancient Jewish teachings.There are three features of the book that are particularly helpful. Each section ends with a specific insight (application) for business and an insight for our personal life from the teaching. Each chapter ends with guided meditation to solidify the application and understanding of the principle. Finally, there are real-world examples throughout the book that serve as examples of the concept from which we can pattern our own thinking on our business.For the most part, readers will not be surprised at the nine principles taught. What is surprising is the ability of the authors to enable the reader to take ownership of the concepts and integrate them into every aspect of life and business. That is the real value of this book.

Spoiler:INSIGHT FOR BUSINESS: Your business can and should be extraordinary. By ensuring that every part of your business is fully filtered through the intellect, you have a considerable advantage over competitors. Most people are guided by emotions—human nature simply acts that way. By being able to rise above that, your business becomes more effective and successful than those of your competitors. INSIGHT FOR LIFE: By not allowing emotion to completely dictate your choice of friends or even life partner, your relationships will be considerably more successful and fulfilling than those who use their feelings as the most important barometer of relationship success. Allowing logic and intellect to regulate your relationships creates a quantum leap in their quality and longevity.

I really liked this book because it is easy to read and understand the concept of running a business. I liked it so much I sent my son and his wife a copy because they are planning to go into business and I wanted them to start out on the right foot. The title just jumped out at me knowning how much success the Judaica concept has been successful.
