For Immediate Release
Transformational Business is
Focus of SoulfulLiving.com’s May Issue
LOS ANGELES, CA, May 1, 2000 – SoulfulLiving.com,
a new online guide for whole life living, examines the soul of
business this month, presenting the thoughts and ideas of
fifteen business visionaries, who are acting as powerful
catalytic agents in a powerful transformational moment in the
evolution of humanity.
Visionary futurist Willis Harman articulated in his 1987
book, "Global Mind Change," a profound belief that
has become a living reality. "We are living through one
of the most fundamental shifts in history--a change in the
actual belief structure of Western society. No economic,
political, or military power can compare with the power of a
change of mind."
"Global Mind Change inspired me and thousands of other
business men and women throughout the world to live an
inspired business life," says Jeff Hutner, who was
befriended and mentored by Harman and is one of the featured
business visionaries in this month's issue of
SoulfulLiving.com.
Through their important and inspiring work, this month’s
featured business leaders have begun redefining corporate
cultures by placing people and the planet on equal footing
with profits and creating work environments that help release
the enormous creative potential of people working for more
than a paycheck. Hutner believes that "contributing to a
positive and sustainable future is fast becoming a driving
force of the emerging new business paradigm."
This month’s issue of SoulfulLiving.com is a smorgasbord
of evolutionary thought, exploring such themes as spirituality in
business; maximizing creativity and human potential in the
workplace; honoring one's soul purpose, passion and calling;
and nurturing the soul at work. The inspiring and hopeful
stories found in this issue include:
