Why The Value Of The East Should Matter To The West by Majid Salim is a lively and thoughtful book. It's an exploration of many ideas from Eastern philosophy and religion, with an emphasis on their applicability to secular management economics in the West. It's designed for thinkers— people switched on to the fact that there is more to life than materialism and nihilism. In the West, there is little religion, as Christianity has declined. But what if people still need solutions to problems affecting their souls? This book attempts to provide these potential solutions. Perhaps for the first time, the very best management theories in Hinduism and Buddhism are described in this book in a way that will light a touchpaper in the minds of cognoscenti everywhere.
