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.' -Scott Belsky, founder and CEO, Behance, and author, Making Ideas Happen Buch (fremdspr.)
