Office Sutras: Exercises for Your Soul at Work

This practical guide to finding spirituality at the office can help reduce stress and turn workplace challenges into a path toward enlightenment.

The Office Sutras can help transform any job—even a terrible one—into an active part of spiritual practice. With wit and wisdom, Marcia Menter helps us recognize that the things that drive us crazy at work can be doorways to growth and understanding if we approach them with an open mind and heart.

In chapters like "The Slough of Suckiness, " "Are They Paying Me Enough?, " and "The Dream That Got Away, " Menter shares practical techniques, exercises, and mantras for finding divinity in the resentments that can make anyone's job miserable. Each chapter includes inspiring mantras for bad days, such as "If God had wanted me to spend my whole life in my office, he would have given me a nicer office."

Menter contends that the job you have right now, for all its imperfections, may be just the spiritual challenge you need to confront the most important issues of life—issues like self-worth and fulfillment and paying your way in the world. The Office Sutras will help readers find opportunities for growth and peace in even the most stultifying of work situations.
