Book Review:
''Zen and Creative Management'' by Albert Low is a groundbreaking and thought-provoking book that bridges the gap between Eastern philosophy and modern management practices. As Marshall McLuhan notes, this book reconciles ''the seemingly disparate worlds of industry and Zen,'' offering a fresh perspective on how to approach leadership and organizational challenges.

Low draws on the principles of Zen Buddhism to provide insights into creativity, decision-making, and the nature of work. He argues that by adopting a Zen mindset, managers can break free from the limitations of conventional thinking and become more effective leaders. Philip Kapleau, Roshi, describes it as ''a profoundly wise book that needs to be read by managers, executives, and manual workers alike.''

This is an essential read for anyone interested in alternative approaches to management, the intersection of spirituality and business, or the art of Japanese management. It is a timeless and inspiring book that will help you think more creatively and lead with greater wisdom .
