A book summary of The Diamond Cutter: The Buddha On Managing Your Business and Your Life by Michael Roach and Christie McNally
The Diamond Cutter: The Buddha on Managing Your Business and Your Life is a self-help book that draws upon the ancient wisdom of Buddhism to provide practical advice for success in both personal and professional life.
The primary author is Geshe Michael Roach, a former diamond merchant and a Buddhist monk who combines his business experience with Buddhist teachings to offer a unique perspective on success and happiness. The other author is Christie McNally.
The book's core message is that one's thoughts and actions determine the quality of life and that one can learn to control these thoughts and actions to create a successful and fulfilling life.
The author argues that success in business and life is achieved by following the principles of the Diamond Sutra, one of the oldest Buddhist texts, which teaches the Four Immeasurable Minds: love, compassion, joy, and equanimity.
