The workplace is often a forum where aggressive competition, underappreciation, and self-doubt rule the day. Heine shows how the principles of Zen Buddhism can effectively dissipate stress and anxiety in the professional world. In dealing with conflict, Heine brings to light two seemingly contradictory Zen mindsets: the "Way of the Hermit," which requires one to step back and view the situation in contemplative objectivity, and the "Way of the Warrior," which requires quick and decisive action without hesitation. It is only through practice and intuition that the student of Zen will utilize the appropriate method in any given situation. Heine wisely avoids pop spirituality and instead uses thoughtful examples straight out of the Zen tradition, including effective use of stories and quotations, some from Eastern philosophies and others that may be familiar yet are very Zen-like. Heine, a recognized authority on Buddhism and Japanese culture, gives workshops on the techniques described in this book. David Siegfried

Review


"Heine deserves credit for offering a bold alternative to the conventional wisdom that has dominated discussions of career success in organizations." --Academy of Management Review


"A sly, good-humored book [about] applying Zen attitudes and concepts to your work and career.... Reach for this book when work makes no sense and people are getting on your nerves."--USA Today


"Heine wisely avoids pop spirituality and instead uses thoughtful examples straight out of the Zen tradition, including effective use of stories and quotations, some from Eastern philosophies and others that may be familiar yet are very Zen-like. Heine, a recognized authority on Buddhism and Japanese culture, gives workshops on the techniques described in this book."--Booklist


"Buddhism authority Heine lays out, in a non-pop psychology fashion, how embracing Zen's two counterbalancing viewpoints (that of the objective, detached 'Hermit' and the decisive, nimble 'Warrior') can bring rewards in the workplace and on a career path."--Washington Post


"If you're looking for a more thoughtful way to approach your work life look no further. White Collar Zen translates ancient wisdom into practical advice for today's business professional. And the way Heine seamlessly weaves Zen teachings and modern work examples together makes for an easy and pleasurable read." --Mark McNeilly, author of Sun Tzu and the Art of Business: Six Strategic Principles for Managers


"A gem that accomplishes one of the prime missions of Zen, the ageless directive to introduce insight and compassion into the situation at hand. Via the inner dynamics of the Zen encounter, Steven Heine presents for modern use a major Zen motif, the deep balancing of contemplative awareness, here symbolized by the Hermit, and its application to the world, represented by the Warrior. This book will help foster individual success through practical lessons presented humorously, with contemporary examples as well as venerable Zen stories that offer wider vantage from which to function freely and think outside the box of stale structures. But more important than personal advantage, these guidelines for good teamwork will promote beneficial cooperation in our world, at a time when we surely are in need of such." --Taigen Dan Leighton, author of Faces of Compassion: Classic Bodhisattva Archetypes, and translator of Dogen's Extensive Record
