The Bhagavad Gita, the classic spiritual text more than five thousand years old, has often been called India's greatest contribution to the world. In these pages, Jack Hawley presents the essence of the Gita's teachings in a format accessible to modern readers. The book is organized into chapters that address five important questions spiritual seekers have been grappling with for millennia: Who am I? Why am I here? Who, or what, is the Divinity many call “God”? What is my relationship to that Divinity? Is it even possible to live a spiritual life, and if so, how? Each chapter begins with an introduction by Jack Hawley. The teachings from the Gita follow, arranged under headings relevant to today's seekers, such as “Being the Real You,” “Seeing Divinity in Ordinary Humans,” and “Finding Happiness.” The ancient wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita lives on, helping us today as it has helped countless millions of people through the ages.

Why should modern psychotherapists be interested in philosophy, especially ancient philosophy? Why should philosophers be interested in psychotherapy? There is a sense of mutual attraction between what are today two thoroughly distinct disciplines. However, arguably it was not always the case that they were distinct. The author takes the view that by reconsidering the generally received wisdom concerning the history of these closely-related subjects, we can learn a great deal about both philosophy and psychotherapy, under which heading he includes potentially solitary pursuits such as "self-help" and "personal development".

In this companion to his best-selling translation of the Bhagavad Gita, Easwaran explores the essential themes of this much-loved Indian scripture. Placing the Gita in a modern context, Easwaran shows how this classic text sheds light on the nature of reality, the illusion of separateness, the search for identity, and the meaning of yoga. The key message of the Gita is how to resolve our conflicts and live in harmony with the deep unity of life, through the principles of yoga and the practice of meditation. Easwaran grew up in the Hindu tradition and learned Sanskrit from an early age. A foremost translator and interpreter of the Gita, he taught classes on it for forty years, while living out the principles of the Gita in the midst of a busy family and community life. In the Gita, Sri Krishna, the Lord, doesn’t tell the warrior prince Arjuna what to do: he shows Arjuna his choices and then leaves it to Arjuna to decide. Easwaran, too, shows us clearly how these teachings still apply to us – and how, like Arjuna, we must take courage and act wisely if we want our world to thrive.

For professionals grappling with the challenges of corporate life, Leadership Lessons from the Bhagavad Gita offers a transformative path to overcome self-defeating habits and silence the mind's negative chatter-often the greatest barrier to effective leadership. This book advocates for a leadership style rooted in compassion for followers, stakeholders, and future generations, paving the way for harmonious workplace relationships and environmental stewardship. Moving away from conventional leadership models based on control, it promotes leadership by inspiration. At a time when trust in leadership is waning, this book introduces the concept of linked-leadership-leaders who connect through loving connection or bhakti-yoga with themselves (through self-knowledge), others, nature, and the supreme source. Drawing on the example of Krishna guiding Arjuna's chariot, it redefines leadership as a commitment to service, excellence, and virtuous character, inspiring others to follow suit. Its unique insights help you understand different personality types, motivating individuals according to their nature, and building effective teams for a harmonious and prosperous organizational culture. Ultimately, this book challenges leaders to embrace unity and diversity, achieving sustainable well-being and happiness in their organizations.
