Praise for The Shibumi Strategy
"With this short, simple fable, Matthew May manages to illuminate an all-too-common career crisis with Zen insights and concepts that not only provoke thought but also give readers powerful
strategies to tackle change, challenge, and opportunity."
—Gretchen Rubin, author, The Happiness Project
"Matt May has written a little book full of big ideas. Drawing from ancient Zen practice and applying those principles to modern life, he shows how you can turn the obstacles in your path into opportunities to transform your career, perhaps even your life."
—Daniel H. Pink, author, Drive and A Whole New Mind
"Matt's done it again: shown us how to break out of constraints
and get the job done. He's also proven how Japanese practices
and Zen principles that are difficult to translate can explain
everything."
—Guy Kawasaki, cofounder, Alltop.com, and author, Reality Check
"The holy grail for any leader is to reach a state of clarity and peak performance. Through the power of story, The Shibumi Strategy shows us how, and sheds an invaluable light on the role (and potential) of the everyday struggles we face."
