Embrace the Chaos

Zusatztext 57531467 Informationen zum Autor Bob Miglani is senior director at a Fortune 50 company in New York City, where he has been embracing the chaos for twenty years. He came to the United States from India in 1979 and grew up running his family’s Dairy Queen business, the subject of his first book, Treat Your Customers. Klappentext India has terrible infrastructure, is one of the most crowded places on earth, and struggles with high rates of poverty. Bob Miglani calls it the world capital of chaos. Yet India's 2012 Happy Planet Index rating (32) is 70 places higher than that of the U.S. (105). What do Indians know that we don't? Pfizer exec Bob Miglani returned to India, his birthplace, stressed out and worried about his finances, his family and his job; while driving in an Indian taxi he realized he was worrying about the wrong things. In Embrace the Chaos, he describes the simple lessons that allow us to thrive, be happy, and productive in life even when the world around us is going crazy. First of all, stop trying to plan or control the future; stop overanalyzing or worrying about events that might never happen. DO move forward, no matter what, and learn to enjoy the busyness of life. DO worry about your purpose, or SEWA, which is the unique reason you were put on this earth. Once you discover this, nothing else will be as bad as it looks. DO perform service for others and find your meaning in the spark of spirit within each person you meet. Mixing anecdotes, stories from his family, quotations from Indian philosophy and history, this book is a wake-up call to stop waiting and start living.

Lodge, coauthor of the New York Times bestselling Younger Next Year and Younger Next Year for Women "Over 2,500 years ago, the Buddha taught his followers about the impermanent nature of existence...explaining how everything is constantly changing, ever flowing, eternally in flux. But our Western minds crave stability, certainty, predictability, and control. 'Give it up, ' Bob Miglani tells us in his new book. 'Your longing for control is futile. The truth of reality is chaos. Learn to go with the flow. Relax--and dance with the chaos.' The Buddha would agree. Therein lies freedom and happiness."--BJ Gallagher, coauthor of Being Buddha at Work "I Zusammenfassung “Shows us that only by opening our minds and our hearts to life’s wonderful unpredictability can we truly live  . . . a wise and welcome book.” —Marcus Buckingham, New York Times -bestselling author of Love and Work   Like many of us, Bob Miglani felt overwhelmed and anxious.
