How many times have you been told, “It’s not personal, it’s just business”?
how many times have your emotions taken over you in a situation, only for you
to see in hindsight and look at it with a completely different perspective?
Moral
Fiber by Shawn Vij takes up one of the major
questions that the people joining the corporate world face today. The book is filled
with a lot of incidents, anecdotes and tips to identify toxic workplaces and
ways to get out of them or resolve them. The book also incorporates priceless
lessons from top industry leaders and powerful research from academics. It is
the ultimate guidebook on how to create a thriving business and career while
staying true to who you are and what you believe. Taking an innovative and
secular approach to business Ethics, moral fiber shows us how living our values
unlocks a more purposeful life and career. This book helps us to re-discover
the inherent core values, such as fairness, respect, compassion, and honesty,
and then how to genuinely act on them daily.
The book is written in a very crisp manner,
with each chapter laying the ground work for strengthening one’s moral resolve
to act in line with our own value systems, irrespective of the environment
around us. The book takes up some very apt examples from the author’s life and
presents to the reader a scenario when the needle moves towards the moral fiber
of the author and how things start working for him. The snippets of teachings
of the Buddha in the text are an advantage as they convey the message of the
book quite swiftly and aptly. Shawn has collated his work and life experience
in this book that can serve as a learning for anyone who is aspiring to join
the corporate jungle.
The toolkit in the end is amazing and I am
definitely going to use it in my life.
The book scores a 4.13 on my scale.
