Path for Greatness: Spiritualty at Work

"Dr. Ferguson succeeds in advancing significantly our understanding of how to bring the spiritual side of our lives to the office on a daily basis. She shows, irrespective of one's particular religious credo, how to tap that often neglected side of one's persona and how to be a complete person. Her objective, besides increasing one's personal fulfillment, is to craft organizations with higher consciousness-firms that attend to all those they reach (customers, employees, stockholders, etc.) as people, not as objects. Dr. Ferguson lays out practical steps to achieve this.

I applaud Dr. Ferguson for addressing this important topic, and I commend her for the progress she has been able to achieve in helping organizations and individuals to more fully realize the spiritual side of their lives, their actions, and the impacts they have on others. I feel energized and excited reading her book, and I can't wait to put some of her suggestions to use in my daily life."

"In a world where quarterly earnings can become a relentless focus, this book is a refreshing reminder that one's workplace interactions with others provide countless opportunities to learn about oneself and appreciate what's really important in life."

Lisa Long, Executive Vice President of Time Inc.







Dr. Linda Ferguson's recent book, Path for Greatness: Work as Spiritual Service, informs us in clearly understandable language how important our work and our workplace are to our own spiritual growth. It is a clearly written treatise, which if followed, will empower the worker and the manager to transform the workplace into a more vibrant environment that will facilitate our own and our co-workers spiritual growth.

Dr. Ferguson has provided us with a powerful guide for elevating ourselves to a higher spiritual plan and for transforming our workplace into a more vibrant and satisfying work environment. This book gives us a whole new way of looking at ourselves as workers and our workplace in terms of spiritual growth.

I wish all my staff and I had this book as a guide during my 30 years as CEO of a human service organization. This book should be in the hands of every person in the workplace including every CEO (especially every CEO). It has the power to transform a dreary and unsatisfying place of employment into a more vibrant arena promoting greater productivity as well as individual satisfaction and spiritual growth. Ferguson has created a new paradigm which employers and employees can use to change their workplace into an environment promoting a happier and more productive workplace.
