"Dick Richards' thoughtful new book is admittedly a different kind of business book. He has drawn artfully from philosophy, the arts, and management theory to illuminate for us the truly important questions of work and our relationship to it. More important, Richards' own decency and his faith in the potential of the human spirit to solve the problems of business shine through on every page."

"Richards reminds us, with charm and warmth, that, to the degree that we are whole persons, we are all also artists. And artists succeed at work, management, and leadership not in spite of their art, but precisely because of it. A treasured addition to the current literature dedicated to valuing human depth in business-valuing depth because it is moral, of course, but also because it can be profitable."-Peter Koestenbaum, author of The Heart of Business
