Books! Books! Books!

Here are a few books that have been helpful to me in the quest to enhance the experience and meaning of work:

• The Off ice Sutras - exercises for your soul at work by Marcia Menter, 2003.
  
• Awake at Work: 35 practical Buddhist principles for discovering clarity and balance in the midst of work's chaos by Michael Carroll, 2006.
• Work as a Spiritual Practice: A Practical Buddhist Approach to Inner Growth and Satisfaction On the Job by L. Richmond, 2000.
• Take This Job and Love It: how to find fulfillment in any job you do by Matthew Gilbert, 1998
• Work With What You Have: ways to creative and meaningful livelihood by Deborahann Smith, 1999.
  

Each of these books contains numerous suggestions for using the practice of mindfulness on the job. Gilbert's book is especially useful for those in customer service occupations.
