“Working is the natural human response to being alive, our way of participating in the universe. We have a responsibility to work, to exercise our talents and abilities, to contribute our energy to life. Our nature is creative, and by expressing it we constantly generate more enthusiasm and creativity, stimulating an ongoing process of enjoyment in the world around us. Working willingly, with our full energy and enthusiasm, is our way of contributing to life. Working in this way is working with skillful means…For many people today, work is losing its meaning. This dissatisfaction is not limited to certain professions, but pervades every aspect of work. This is unfortunate as work is a very effective means for learning how to find deep satisfaction in life…When we use skillful means, we directly approach our work, take immediate action to solve our problems, and uncover the strength of our natural abilities.”

Skillful Means - Patterns for Success

As Tarthang Rinpoche says in the Introduction to this book “Life exacts a price for less than full participation. We lose touch with the human values and qualities that spring naturally from a full engagement with work and life: integrity, honesty, loyalty, responsibility, and cooperation.” With a strong focus in this book on awareness and working at the gut level, Rinpoche shows how change can flower on its own. A set of 19 exercises makes all of this practical and real.
