Mindfulness in the Marketplace by Allan Hunt Badiner (ed.)Subtitled "Compassionate Responses to Consumerism," this incredible anthology features essays from Buddhist experts in the fields of physics and systems theory, evolutionary theory, business administration, social and political activism, eco-philosophy, and comparative economics, as well as noted monks and scholars such as His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Thich Nhat Hanh. It reminds us that the issues affecting the world may be huge, but that because we are all connected, small differences in the way we live can lead to global change. (Capsule review here.)
