<div id="syndetics_summary">This breakthrough book shows not just how to envision and create success, but also how to build a truly visionary business: one that supports its employees, the community, and the environment. Framed as a parable, Marc Allen's popular book follows the author's mentor, an older investment specialist named Bernie, who teaches him the ways of ethical and socially responsible business. Together they direct Allen's fledgling attempts at business into a thriving corporate success, founded on principles as diverse as Eastern and Western spirituality, simple kindness, mysticism, and market savvy. A blend of Covey's "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People" and Coehlo's "The Alchemist," this timely book is an empowering and inspiring look at the possibilities of right livelihood and creative leadership.</div>
