Book excerpt: Senior business leaders to junior employees-everyone is seeking balance, meaning and joy in their career and life. Rather than faddish corporate fluff, Build Your Castles in the Air provides a business improvement philosophy ringing true to the soul, resonating with values inherent in us all. Author Chuck Hansen applies quotes from Henry David Thoreau's timeless masterpiece Walden to the most vexing dilemmas of the 21st Century corporate world, and adds reflections from Hansen's own experiences, in national politics, Fortune 500 companies, living in the Caribbean and crossing the North Atlantic in a sailboat. The whole is a simple yet powerful reference tool, containing enduring wisdom, humor, hope, and, moreover, a means to integrate purpose, integrity and authenticity into modern life.
