Making spirituality an integral part of the hectic workday is a key concern for the authors of At Work. They offer a number of solutions meant to help integrate these two worlds, all with a common theme—the positive renewal and transformation of both worker and workplace. Carefully avoiding the pat answers of pop psychology, At Work is instead an in-depth read for teachers, consultants, and people interested in making their work environment a more healthful and compassionate one.
