Aisle 6:
Life Beyond Work

Recent research has shown that many of us prefer the workplace to our own homes, and our business colleagues to our families. But employers who rejoice in this phenomenon are kidding themselves. It's the healthy, well-rounded employee who brings the true creative spark to every task and the most enduring sense of commitment to the job.

If you or your workforce have lost touch with life outside the office, take a look at the books listed here. They can help you get back in touch with yourself, your family, and the world beyond your desk. Ultimately, the bottom line will benefit--and you just might live a little longer to enjoy the results. Remember, no one ever looked up from their death bed and said, "I wish I'd spent more time at the office."

Instruction to the Cook

Instructions to the Cook: A Zen Master's Lessons in Living a Life That Matters by Bernard Glassman with Rick Fields. (New York: Random House, 1997, 171 pages). Glassman's long years of Buddhist practice and business experience blend in a little volume which uses the kitchen as a metaphor for life. Recipes for success are shared, insights on living life to the fullest are revealed, and Glassman serves up a palatable plate of Zen wisdom which is practical to everyday endeavors. | Book Review |

The Time Bind

The Time Bind: When Work Becomes Home and Home Becomes Work. by Arlie Russell Hothschild. (New York: Henry Holt & Co., 1997). Is it true that we'd rather not go home? Sociology professor Hochschild interviewed 130 American workers and concluded that, yes, employers' efforts to make workers feel valued have paid off--in spades! This book is a plea for renewed balance and a guide for achieving it.

We: Understanding the Psychology of Romantic Love by Robert Johnson (New York: Harper & Row, 1983). The myth of Tristan and Iseult is one of the earliest tales of romantic love. Johnson uses this myth to explain the essence and meaning of romantic love. He identifies many of the unconscious beliefs about love that are shared by both men and women. Then he goes on to show how we can overcome the illusions we often have about love and create a deeper, longer lasting, more meaningful relationship based on a new understanding of true love. After all, work isn't everything.

Constructive Living by David K. Reynolds (Honolulu: University of Hawaii Press, 1984). Clear, concise lessons to help you overcome shyness, depression, fear, stress, grief, or chronic pain. You can make substantial changes in your personality and your character so that life itself simply works better. This book is a concise summary of the work David Reynolds has been doing to bring the complex Japanese psychotherapies of Naikon and Morita to America in a way that is easy for anyone to understand.
