We Are the Economy
A no-nonsense Zen approach to our economic realities can change everything and help us regain our freedom. Is it possible to be personally fulfilled, and also make a difference within our current financial system? If you're skeptical, business coach and Zen practitioner Kai Romhardt proposes a minimalist, awareness-based strategy that totally reconfigures our core economic relationships: work, consumption, and money. How do we do that? We need to pause, breathe, and get in touch with our true intentions. Too often, we think of the economy as something outside of us, as beyond the scope of our individual choices. We're unhappy with how things are going, with unthinking growth that polarizes our world and condenses wealth at the top, but we don't know what to do. Romhardt argues that individuals who wield a sharp Buddhist mindset can, in fact, create change through personal decisions: when we can see in to society, and in to our constructs, we become empowered to choose deeply real and purposeful lives.
Managing Knowledge
Managing Knowledge is an extensive and eminently readable overview of the most important ideas, tools and current applications of knowledge management. The authors rely on an innovative 'building block' approach and provide a detailed description of the most important knowledge processes in organizations. "We are experiencing a paradigm shift from an industrial age to a service/knowledge age. We are all looking for new answers that will give meaning and purpose to our efforts, and make sense of knowledge processes. This book is an excellent tool: it is easy to read and contains practical examples which help us to deal with the issues. I enjoyed reading it." Heinz Fischer, Vice-President (Per...
Slow down your life
Slowing down hilft uns in vielfältiger Weise: Wir werden unabhängiger von unserem Umfeld, unseren Gewohnheiten und der vorherrschenden Zeitkultur. Wir sind konzentrierter und machen weniger Fehler. Wir sehen klarer und vermeiden Aktionismus. Wir knüpfen tiefere Beziehungen. Wir gehen achtsam mit unserem Körper um und sparen Energie. Wir kommen mit weniger Ressourcen aus. Wir haften nicht an unseren Ideen und Entscheidungen und werden so flexibler. Wir schärfen unseren Blick für das Wesentliche einer Situation.
Lebensbruch
Kai Romhardt war lange auf dem klassischen Karriereweg unserer Hochleistungsgesellschaft unterwegs, u.a. an der Universität St. Gallen und bei McKinsey, bis ihn eine tiefe persönliche Krise, die ihn an den Rand des Zusammenbruchs führte, eine neue Richtung einschlagen ließ. Er entdeckte die Achtsamkeitspraxis und Meditation in der Tradition von Thich Nhat Hanh und lebte zwei Jahre im buddhistischen Kloster im französischen Plum Village. Heute steht für ihn fest: Es braucht andere Geschichten von Glück und Erfolg als jene, die uns heute meist erzählt werden im Job, im Alltag, überall. Dieses Buch liefert diese Alternativen, es liefert diese Geschichten und es zeigt: auch mit kleinen Lebensbrüchen, mit kleinen Entscheidungen, können wir unserem Leben jederzeit Sinn verleihen. Wir können jederzeit neu anfangen, ein erfülltes Leben zu führen.
Understanding New Media
This book outlines the development currently underway in the technology of new media and looks further to examine the unforeseen effects of this phenomenon on our culture, our philosophies, and our spiritual outlook.
Knowledge Management
It is a widely accepted that Knowledge Management constitutes a key asset for the information professional. Management theory has always pointed to the fact that libraries and librarians in particular play an important role in an organization (be it an enterprise, a city, or a society as a whole). The papers collected in this volume demonstrate why and how - from the libraries' perspective. They discuss some fundamental implications of Knowledge Management as a key activity area for libraries, analyse key issues and instruments and give some best practice examples. Among the contributing authors the reader will find Larry Prusak, James Matarazzo, Michael Koenig, Rafael Capurro, Susan Henczel, Irene Wormell and Rainer Kuhlen. The book brings together eighteen important texts for the topic not only from IFLA workshops and conferences but also from other sources such as the SLA (Special Libraries Association). The inclusion of several original contributions makes this reader essential for all concerned with the future role of the library in business and society.
Knowledge Management
We are now in the 'third wave' of Knowledge Management - the first was focused on the potential of new technology, while the second focused on the nature of knowledge and how people 'know' and learn. The focus in the third phase is two-fold: building individual and team productivity, and proper alignment of Knowledge Management efforts in helping deliver on strategic goals of the organization. Knowledge Management- a Blueprint for Delivery explores and builds on current ideas about the dynamics of knowledge in organizations, answering such questions as: 'What is knowledge management?' and 'What does it mean for today's companies and organizations?' Written by two leading knowledge management...

Achtsam wirtschaften
Das Vertrauen in unser ökonomisches System zeigt immer mehr Risse. Denn in vielen Bereichen hat sich die Wirtschaft von unseren wahren Bedürfnissen entkoppelt. Kai Romhardt zeigt mit seinem Buch, wie wir von Wachstumsillusionen Abschied nehmen und zu einem rechten Maß finden können, wie wir uns aus unseren Ego-Fallen befreien und wieder ein gesundes Miteinander entwickeln. Denn: Wirtschaft ist ein System, das wir jeden Tag aufs neue selbst erschaffen. Romhardt zeigt Wege auf zu mehr Achtsamkeit im Hinblick auf Arbeit, Konsum und den Umgang mit Finanzen. Und er vermittelt, wie wir wahren materiellen Wohlstand schaffen können, ohne darüber unseren geistigen Wohlstand zu verspielen.
