Trade ReviewConsultant Neal, who specializes in the study and practice of spirituality in the workplace, believes that people are changingand that those who aren't can be led to changein the direction of understanding themselves as something more than material, as intuitive creatures with one foot in the real and another in the possible. Such changed people are able to forge alliances and create unusual opportunities, abilities that are essential for innovation and growth. Neal closely describes these desirable traits, interviews those who are already practicing, and gives instructions for those who wish also to become new. * Reference & Research Book News *
