When The Monk and the Riddle was released two years ago, Silicon Valley was the place to be. Today, the once-booming Internet gold rush epitomized by the Valley has proven that get-rich-quick schemes are short lived. In The Monk and the Riddle, Randy Komisar reminds us that working simply to make money will leave us "howling at the moon." Instead, we should integrate our passions and values--the things that matter to us personally--into our working lives. Described by Fortune.com as "part personal essay, part fictional narrative and part meditation on the nature of work and life," this book is unlike any other business book you've read. Now available in paperback, The Monk and the Riddle will ring true for a whole generation of working people wishing to merge personal and professional success. "Work hard, work passionately, but apply your most precious asset--time--to what is most meaningful to you," writes Komisar. "What would you be willing to do for the rest of your life?"
