Miracle Minded Manager: A Modern-Day Parable about How to Apply a Course in Miracles in Business

by John J. Murphy

Readers witness fictional company president Jack MacDonald use the wisdom from A Course in Miracles to transform his company and relationships beyond anything he could ever imagine.

Written in story form, Miracle Minded Manager approachably integrates the lessons author John J. Murphy has learned in both his personal and professional life since first learning about A Course in Miracles in 2008. Murphy credits the Course for accelerating his growth and prosperity and quadrupling his business revenues within two years, and now you, too, can benefit from the blending of lessons from A Course in Miracles and Murphy’s modern-day training.

Jack MacDonald, president of TYPCO, is trying to transform his company. He’s hit a roadblock with unhelpful and defensive direct reports and ingrained systems of doing business that no longer serve. Unsure of how to continue, he turns to business consultant Jordan Mckay, who has helped Jack with management challenges in the past. Jack is surprised that instead of suggesting practical business tactics, Jordan encourages him to adopt A Course in Miracles to open his mind and let go of ego. Though at first, he’s reluctant, Jack and his wife, Judy, begin to follow the Course. The results are life changing.

I thought this book was a great resource for people who managed anyone or anything. While I like its title because I like spiritual books, I thought the original title may have suited the business category better. All in all, a wonderful addition to people looking to manage the different pieces of their personal and professional lives.

I love how John Murphy brings the principles of A Course in Miracles to the workplace in an enjoyable and easy-to-understand story. Murphy knows that real change does not come from surface behaviors, more funding, or new programs. Lasting change comes only from a shift in perception and a foundational base of love instead of fear. This book is extremely important in these times of corporate greed and disregard for anything but the bottom line.

Plan on using this for an October reading list. I love reading non-fiction books that are useful for business-minded people. This was a nice take on management specifically.

Good book if a little wordy at times. I very much enjoyed reading it but probably not one I will pick up again.

I won this book in the giveaway! As a manager of a small gym I found a lot of solid advice, some of which I already knew but with a different perspective.
