The author of four books of poetry, he is one of the few poets to take his perspectives on creativity into the field of organizational development, where he works with many American and international companies. Using poetry and thoughtful commentary, he illustrates how we can foster qualities of courage and engagement; qualities needed if we are to respond to today’s call for increased creativity and adaptability in the workplace. Whyte is also the author of the highly-acclaimed book, <em >The Heart Aroused: Poetry and the Preservation of the Soul in Corporate America</em>.</p> </div> </div></div> Authors David Whyte Fri, 24 Feb 2006 21:41:59 -0500 http://www.wisdomhunter.com/crossing-the-unknown-sea <div class="flexinode-body flexinode-3"><div class="flexinode-textfield-17"><div class="form-item"> <label>Book Title:</label><br /> Crossing the Unknown Sea: Work As a Pilgrimage of Identity </div> </div><div class="flexinode-textfield-18"><div class="form-item"> <label>Author Last Name:</label><br /> Whyte </div> </div><div class="flexinode-textfield-19"><div class="form-item"> <label>Author First Name:</label><br /> David </div> </div><div class="flexinode-textfield-20"><div class="form-item"> <label>Publisher:</label><br /> Penguin Putnam </div> </div><div class="flexinode-number-24"><div class="form-item"> <label>Year Published:</label><br /> 2001 </div> </div><div class="flexinode-textfield-14"><div class="form-item"> <label>ISBN:</label><br /> 1573229148 </div> </div><div class="flexinode-textarea-13"><div class="form-item"> <label>Book Review:</label><br /> <p>When our work is right for us and it gives back to the world, when we develop, as the poet William Blake said, "a firm persuasion," we feel we can move mountains. Maybe we've felt this way only for a moment, maybe some feel this way all the time, or maybe some have never felt this way. But a sense of fulfillment is possible for all of us, and David Whyte can show us how to restore it to our lives. Whyte applies the stages of a holy pilgrimage to the process of seeking identity through the unknown sea of work, including longing for refuge, finding the strength to begin the journey and connecting with others with a common purpose. This book is a life-changing experience not to be missed.</p> </div> </div><div class="flexinode-number-27"><div class="form-item"> <label>Depth:</label><br /> 2 </div> </div><div class="flexinode-number-33"><div class="form-item"> <label>Tone:</label><br /> 1 </div> </div><div class="flexinode-number-34"><div class="form-item"> <label>Openness:</label><br /> 1 </div> </div></div> Books David Whyte Up and Coming Purpose in Life Fri, 24 Feb 2006 16:32:47 -0500
