A batch of the best highlights from what Armand's read, .
All companies have a culture, some companies have discipline, but few companies have a culture of discipline. When you have disciplined people, you don’t need hierarchy. When you have disciplined thought, you don’t need bureaucracy. When you have disciplined action, you don’t need excessive controls. When you combine a culture of discipline with an ethic of entrepreneurship, you get the magical alchemy of great performance.
Good to Great
Jim Collins
It’s actually pretty easy to see that you’re not the objects you look at. It’s a classic case of subject-object. It’s you, the subject, that is looking at the objects. So we don’t have to go through every object in the universe and say that object is not you. We can very easily generalize by saying that if you are the one who is looking at something, then that something is not you.
The Untethered Soul
Michael A. Singer
Think of this: The reason why the child is able to preserve its innocence and live like the rest of creation in the bliss of the kingdom is that it has not been sucked into what we call “the world”—that region of darkness inhabited by grownups whose lives are spent not in living but in courting applause and admiration, not in blissfully being themselves but in neurotically comparing, competing, and striving for those empty things called success and fame—even if they can be attained only at the expense of defeating, humiliating, or destroying their neighbors.
Stop Fixing Yourself
Anthony de Mello
