Summary: A good start, but finishes weak
Comment: I had high expectations of this book but was let down. The author starts on the right foot but loses momentum. I got to the middle of the book and felt that the only way to live a congruent life is to leave my job and become a monk! His tone and attitude toward work are VERY negative. The author is also very "preachy". He is pretentious and writes in "holier that thou" language. Awakening Corporate Soul is much better.

Summary: Solid prose for life the congruent life
Comment: C. Michael Thompson does an excellent job with a challenging subject. A challenging book to read because you have to really think through the issues, ideas and concept presented. Very timely book, given the issues of business, life and how to balance the competing demands. Well thought out concepts, good use of example and appropriate use of concepts. I have had this on my bedside and travel bag for the past year, and I am still digesting all the wisdom.

Summary: A Catalyst for Change
Comment: I had the great fortune of meeting Michael Thompson at a Leadership course I was attending, and after spending several hours with him, I realized he had a message to deliver to me and to others. I picked up his book, The Congruent Life, and after reading it and re-reading it, I was able to start to make sense of my place in life. Reading this book has been a catalyst for change in my life.
For the masses out there looking for meaning in their work, for those feeling disconnected and lost, Michael Thompson has crafted a resource that will not only help you find your way, but will help you understand why you were lost to begin with. He not only points you in the right direction, but gives you the map and compass.
The Congruent Life is the single best resource I have come accross addressing spirituality, the meaning of work, developmental theory, and personal growth.
The Congruent Life sits on my desktop, right next to M. Scott Peck's The Road Less Traveled. Do yourself a favor, and pick it up.
