‘The Business of Wisdom: Mindfulness in a Modern World’ is the sixth book in the ‘PURE MIND Series’ of wisdom quotes – a collection of six consecutive books aiming to shed perceptual light on the rich and layered nature of humanity, exploring both the surfaces and interiors of our day-to-day lives, and beckoning towards a deeper convergence with our internal consciousness.

These insights speak to the reader in many situations, offering simple philosophical perspectives on personal relationships, external world affairs, as well as the modern manifestation of ‘inner’ solutions to our human experiences and challenges. The author accords a range of both subtle and palpable answers to the many random questions we may ask ourselves, and confers a variety of creative and authentic responses to these internal dialogues and searches.

‘The Business of Wisdom’ respectfully challenges us to dissolve human greed and global disparity in a society where both the individual and corporate persona may struggle to negotiate a sensible place ‘in treaty’ with the providing natural world. We are too often locked into progressively destructive habits, where the mainstream domesticity and cumulative ignorance form the human treadmill and where market forces are left to argue silently with our spiritual ‘inner traffic’. We are dared to question the integrity behind our human consumption and to integrate sustainable choices into our living practices. This book delivers a recognisable summary of our human morals while readily deconstructing broad economic vistas into smaller-scale and quantifiable wisdom. We are solitary participants in a global challenge, yet we may each readily elect to break cycles and review current beliefs so as to establish more viable opportunity and practicable agreement.
