Mostly Motivational: I have read somewhere the Dalai Lama saying: "Go out of circulation, once in six months!"

I fondly recall my discussions on this book in my hand with our young and intelligent HR Professional friend, Pradeep Unnikrishnan, a few years back. It has taken some time to read. But it’s worth it. Again, another book by an author-trio after the Toyota Lean Produc...
