It challenges the reader to embrace a radical transformation that will enrich the company, its employees, and its shareholders.

Refreshing Change from Traditional Business Books
Although the terms "Spiritual" and "Capitalism" don't sound like they belong in the same sentence, the author shows through example how the two are inextricably linked to create phenomenal results. As a business owner, I've read numerous books about sales, management, and entrepreneurship. This book is written by someone with a billion-dollar track record who has walked the talk. I recommend Spiritual Capitalism for innovative business or sales professionals who want to create life-changing results in themselves, others, and their companies.

Nice Guys Finish Last?
Who said nice guys finish last? Not Michael Hendren - his SPIRITUAL CAPITALISM book will help everyone who reads it realize the power of love even in the business world. Nice guys and gals can have quantum performance if they follow his "Ten Commandments of Spirital Capitalism" and realize the greatest of these is love. Easy read, very inspiring, a way of life for those who dare to follow!!

Don't let the title spook you...
I worked for the author for 5 years, and knew he was working on this book. When I saw the title and its sub-titles my first reaction was "[...], he blew it..." - sounds like something I would expect to see on some 2am infomercial. However, nothing could be further from the truth - the book contains exactly what it should have, a great view of how to cut through the [..] most people deal with daily in corporate life and extract great performance from people.

Those who know Mike would all agree, he's one of a kind. His ability to cut through non-productive BS, extract performance, develop a sense of team, and have fun while you're doing it is unique. The book is full of practical examples of exactly what to do, and how to do it.

Despite his emotional style, his advice is plain speaking, practical, and makes total sense. For those who have seen it in action it will make even more sense. It's a quick read, but something - if you're smart - you'll come back to for advice regularly.
