The Cutting Edge - The martial art of business

Success is no longer something that requires effort, but a relaxed state of being.

Drawing on Eastern philosophies and martial arts, this book offers some basic rules for success at work. At the core is a proper balance between rationality and intuition. Concepts such as efficiency, overview, pro-activity, breathing, the here-and-now, rest, letting go of what hinders and pure perception are at the basis of the classical Eastern martial arts, but are also directly applicable in modern (business) life. The basic rules in this book are sufficient to give the right answer to a world in motion and to function with more pleasure and less effort. They lead to inner peace and provide overview. Success is then no longer effort but relaxation. Bjørn Aris has been studying Eastern martial arts and Zen philosophy for more than 35 years.
