"If Anything Matters then Everything Matters"

If you recognize the quote in the title of this post, then you have probably read The Shack, by William Paul Young.

If you have not read this book I highly recommend it.  It is not a book about entrepreneurship, per se, but it is about life and what is really important in our lives.  So I guess, in a way, it is about how we choose to conduct ourselves as entrepreneurs. 

One of my favorite quotes from this book comes from a conversation between Jesus and the protagonist of the book named Mack.  Jesus says to Mack the following about why we work:

Men, in general, find it very hard to turn from the works of their hands, their own quests for power and security and significance, and return to me.

Thanks to Robin Anderson, Dean of the College of Business at University of Portland, for handing me a copy of The Shack when I was there to give a talk on our new book a couple of weeks ago.  I recommend you order a copy of your own.
