A major American corporation began to go through a period of tumultuous change and top executives had a problem: How could they stay focused and upbeat during this turbulent time while rumors were flying and everyone was worried? But they also had a solution. They turned to their favorite philosopher and invited him to create a special talk on how to handle change well. The natural reaction from the hundreds of executives and managers asked to listen to a talk on this in the midst of their tough situation might have been cynical suspicion. But Tom Morris won them over from the first minute and gave them a fast hour of wisdom they could use, delivered in a penetrating and fun way that drew rave reviews from all. The ideas of that talk grew and became this book.
