Not just management. This book reveals the philosophical soul of Peter Drucker’s thought. Through eight essential articles, it explores purpose, responsibility, and society, inviting leaders and thinkers to look beyond techniques and rediscover management as a deeply human endeavor.Unveiling the Soul of Management: A Deep Dive into Drucker’s PhilosophyStudy Notes on Drucker’s Eight Articles offers a profound and personal exploration of Peter Drucker’s most critical writings. Developed through a close collaboration with Shao Minglo’s compilation To Know the Real Drucker, this volume transcends traditional management commentary to reveal the philosophical bedrock of Drucker’s worldview.The author, originally a scholar of ancient Chinese literature, approaches Drucker not merely as a management guru, but as a great thinker in the lineage of Dostoevsky and Thomas Mann. Through a journey that traverses the diagnosis of totalitarianism and the search for societal salvation, these notes conne

Wisdom That Transforms Lives Twenty-five centuries ago, a man who had once lived in royal luxury walked barefoot across the dusty plains of India, sharing insights that would forever change human history. The Buddha—“the Awakened One”—dedicated forty-nine years of his life to illuminating the path beyond suffering for all who would listen. This first volume presents 36 stories from the Buddha’s life and the lives of his disciples, each revealing the Buddha’s remarkable ability to meet people where they were and guide them toward realization. Readers will discover the Buddha’s insights on the importance of kindness, right speech, right actions, and community living that remain profoundly relevant to our lives today. Each story concludes with “Words of Wisdom” that connect ancient guidance to contemporary challenges. Throughout the collection, we see how the Buddha’s gentle yet powerful approach led others to profound insights, inspiring many to become his disciples and continue their sp

PREFACEMy father’s escape from―and opposition to―totalitarianism dominated much of his writing. It permeated his beliefs about the empowerment of individuals, and the moral responsibility of organizationsto empower the individuals within their sphere.This collection emphasizes the principles of human choice, dignity; self-worth; and society’s role to achieve these ends, within a fair and equitable system.It was based on this shared belief system that my father and Ming Lo Shao developed a warm friendship―a friendship nurtured and maintained, with mutual respect, for many years until my father’s passing in 2005.This collection demonstrates the timeliness of my father’s writings, and their applicability to some of the critical situations facing our world today, almost 90 years after they were first penned.The Drucker family thanks Ming Lo Shao for his work in creating this anthology, and for his dedication to keeping Drucker’s writings alive and relevant for a new generation.Joan Drucker
