The other day someone paid me a very high compliment by saying that every aspect of my website seemed to them to have been put together with integrity.
That’s certainly what I would hope for!
From my point of view, of course, I still have lots to do. I’m currently in the process of revising the page about my offerings as a speaker, for instance.
But I am nonetheless grateful for this friend’s comment because it strengthens my belief in something I first learned from a remarkable teacher named Mark Silver: every act of business can be an act of love.
For over 25 years, Mark has been showing heart-centered people how this is possible, both in the nitty gritty of running a business and in the art of bringing everything you do in the world into alignment with your highest and deepest ideals.
For over half of those years, I’ve followed Mark’s work, taken classes with him, and more recently worked with him one-on-one. If my website comes anywhere close to the ideal of integrity, I have him to thank for it.
I thus wanted to share with you a book Mark recently published which distills his approach to doing business with integrity: Heart-Centered Business: Healing from toxic business culture so your small business can thrive.
I know no one else who has combined Mark’s clear-sightedness about the toxicity of business culture with a vision and set of practices for a profoundly healing alternative. If you have a small business that you want to flourish and thrive without dishonoring your heart, I could hardly recommend his book more highly.

And whatever way you make your living in the world, may both you and the world thrive together.
Warmly,
Thomas
