Living the Life 330 $aAugust Turak is a successful entrepreneur, corporate executive, and award-winning author who attributes much of his success to living and working alongside the Trappist monks of Mepkin Abbey for seventeen years. As a frequent monastic guest, he learned firsthand from the monks as they grew an incredibly successful portfolio of businesses.Service and selflessness are at the heart of the 1,500-year-old monastic tradition's remarkable business success. It is an ancient though immensely relevant economic model that preserves what is positive and productive about capitalism while transcending its ethical limitations and internal contradictions. Combining vivid case studies from his thirty-year business career with intimate portraits of the monks at work, Turak shows how Trappist principles can be successfully applied to a variety of secular business settings and to our personal lives as well. He demonstrates that monks and people like Warren Buffett are wildly successful not despite their high principles but because of them. Turak also introduces other "transformational organizations" that share the crucial monastic business strategies so critical for success. 606 $aBusiness ethics$zUnited States 606 $aSuccess in business$zUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aBusiness ethics 615 0$aSuccess in business 676 $a174/.4 700 $aTurak$b August$01047745 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462654103321 996 $aThe business secrets of the Trappist monks$92475551 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02755nam 22006973u 450 001 9910785558703321 005 20230801224019.0 010 $a0-8047-8501-5 024 7 $a10.1515/9780804785013 035 $a(CKB)2670000000233595 035 $a(EBL)978480 035 $a(OCoLC)804665046 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000739784 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12351057 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000739784 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10697795 035 $a(PQKB)10684335 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC978480 035 $a(DE-B1597)564568 035 $a(DE-B1597)9780804785013 035 $a(OCoLC)1224279374 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000233595 100 $a20131216d2012|||| u|| | 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aWatching War$b[electronic resource] 210 $aPalo Alto $cStanford University Press$d2012 215 $a1 online resource (258 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a0-8047-8239-3 327 $aContents; List of Illustrations; Acknowledgments; Introduction: Watching War; 1.

Visions of Total War; Conclusion: Old Wars, New Wars; Notes 330 $aWhat does it mean to be a spectator to war in an era when the boundaries between witnessing and perpetrating violence have become profoundly blurred? Arguing that the contemporary dynamics of military spectatorship took shape in Napoleonic Europe, Watching War explores the status of warfare as a spectacle unfolding before a mass audience. By showing that the battlefield was a virtual phenomenon long before the invention of photography, film, or the Internet, this book proposes that the unique character of modern conflicts has been a product of imaginary as much as material forces.< 606 $aMass media -- Audiences 606 $aWar in literature 606 $aWar in mass media 606 $aWar in literature$xAudiences 606 $aWar in mass media 606 $aMass media 606 $aLanguages & Literatures$2HILCC 606 $aLiterature - General$2HILCC 615 4$aMass media -- Audiences. 615 4$aWar in literature. 615 4$aWar in mass media. 615 0$aWar in literature$xAudiences 615 0$aWar in mass media 615 0$aMass media 615 7$aLanguages & Literatures 615 7$aLiterature - General 676 $a303.6/609 676 $a303.66 700 $aMieszkowski$b Jan$01507122 801 0$bAU-PeEL 801 1$bAU-PeEL 801 2$bAU-PeEL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785558703321 996 $aWatching War$93737602 997 $aUNINA
