- Title
A Business Model of Enlightenment.
- Authors
Barnett, John H.
- Abstract
This article examines spiritual growth and the business career. Rather than a certain decline into workaholism or materialism, the world of business becomes a necessary step on the path of enlightenment, through the transcendent philosophical models of the Hindu householder and the Native American Medicine Wheel. The householder concept, including mastering the material world and the resulting spiritual growth, stresses the importance of action, also a criterion for success in business. Current views, based on studies of modern life, Judaic thought, and Christian beliefs, add further dimension to this executive's model of enlightenment.
