Thick Face Black Heart: Thriving and succeeding in everyday life and work using the ancient wisdom of the East

This isn't your typical Western self-help fare. Drawing on ancient Eastern philosophy, this provocative guide challenges you to embrace a counterintuitive approach: developing a 'thick face' (resilience to criticism) and a 'black heart' (ruthless focus on goals). It's about strategic thinking, emotional armour, and succeeding without apology. Controversial? Perhaps. Effective? Generations of readers seem to think so. Perfect for ambitious professionals, entrepreneurs, and anyone tired of playing nice while getting nowhere.
