To Know the Real Drucker: Eight Articles Will Help You is a collection of eight articles by Peter Drucker: “The Unfashionable Kierkegaard” (1949) and its introduction (1992), “The New World-View” (1957), “From Analysis to Perception: The New World View” (1989), “Reflections of a Social Ecologist” (1992), “What Is a Functioning Society?” (1942), “From Rousseau to Hitler” (1942), “The Human Situation Today” (1957), and “Management as Social Function and Liberal Art” (1989). Readers can find the source of each articles in the table of contents and editor’s note per article. Of the eight articles, only the last one is from Drucker’s works on management. The other seven are from his books on society, politics, and economics. Although the world has hailed him as the “Father of Modern Management,” he considered himself a “social ecologist.” This book will play an indispensable role in explaining the reason for that and in further understanding the foundation of faith and worldview which Druck

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

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
