Instructions to the cook

Thursdays at 6pm
Facilitated by
Jorge Koho Mello, translator of the book

About the book

"Instructions to the Cook" is more than a book; it's a guide to personal and business transformation. Bernie Glassman, through the Greyston Foundation, demonstrates how Zen principles can be applied to create positive social impact and transform business practices. The book draws on traditional Zen teachings on how to run a monastery and adapts them to teach how we can manage our lives and businesses in a compassionate and effective way.
