Summary: May help you decide on your life's work
Comment: Interesting book in the Buddhist document of Right Livelyhood. Not as much a book about Mindfulness as a book about Meaningful Work. Most of the authors say much of the same thing. One author, Sam Keen, I liked a lot. This book might help you decide your priorities when it comes to career. And the advice contained within might help you alter your livelyhood in a way that you are more in tune with ecological concerns

Summary: Best Guide to Right Livelihood I've Ever Seen
Comment: In spite of the empty criticisms and single-minded diatribes of a couple of previous reviewers, I think this book is well worth it.

Other than Tarthang Tulku's "Skillful Means" it's hard to find much information on right livelihood and certainly, this is a definitive review.

I especially liked the even-handed inclusion of points of view from other religions besides Buddhism.

The reviewer who said it makes a great gift was right. And, it makes a great bedside book to help you go to sleep inspired and hopeful that it IS possible to find right livelihood.

Rating: 5
Summary: Makes a great gift for Christmas, birthdays or friendship
Comment: This book inspired me! It presents a wide range of views on the subject of right livelihood, from traditional Buddhist thinking to essays from well-known non-Buddhist writers. I was especialy impressed by the inclusion of essays on Amish economics, Islamic banking, and the scientific study of mindfulness founded by psychologist Ellen Langer at Harvard. In addition, the author's closing essay did a great job of describing the practical steps you need to take to find "right livelihood." And, the book happens to have a beautiful cover, which makes it a pleasure to give as a gift.
