“Workplace Spirituality” by Nancy R. Smith is simple and enjoyable.  Though this book is intended for business leaders, all individuals can learn from it.  Nancy R. Smith is a Methodist Deacon, but she is inclusive in her writing.  She values the spirituality of all, not just Christians. 

This is a practical guide for those who work toward integration of their spirituality and work.  It is also for those who seek a deeper meaning in the mundane tasks of their jobs.  “Workplace Spirituality” does not encourage preaching to co-workers.  It does encourage the reader to obtain the 7 traits of a spiritual person:  Authenticity, integrity, humility, openness, hospitality, gratitude, and compassion.  It delves into each of these traits, defining them and giving direction for obtaining them. 

I enjoyed the many quotations and examples that are throughout the book.  Though this book is supposed to be for business leaders, I recommend it for all who seek a more holistic approach to everyday business.
