Michael Munn leads the Gaia Center for Quality in Palo Alto, California, where he delivers keynotes and experiential seminars on business transformation. Munn argues that quality currently serves business only as a profit-increasing mechanism, representing just one end of a much broader spectrum. He envisions a future where quality guides business into new dimensions, teaching organizations to serve and be served through unconditional love. His ultimate goal reaches beyond corporate success toward harmony between people and the entire cosmos. This book targets explorers and pioneers who reject comfort with existing paradigms. Munn writes for those who search for ways to bring heart into business and society, not for people content with unexamined, unchanging lives. He emphasizes experience over theoretical learning, including practical exercises in most chapters. These exercises offer direct experience of concepts that cannot be taught through words alone. Without them, readers gain only surface understanding. With them, they enter previously unknown dimensions. Munn's workshops cover strategic planning, executive development, proposals, and reengineering efforts.
