Nasrudin is the archetypal wise fool- who lived in the Middle East over 600 years ago- his stories have travelled the world and been updated in every generation. Peter Hawkins has given a modern spin to 84 of these stories by turning Nasrudin into a management consultant. Simple truths are told in a straightforward and highly entertaining way. They shock us into seeing situations and ideas with which we have become familiar from a different perspective. Each story slips into our house by its engaging good humour- but once inside it can start to rearrange the furniture and knock new windows through the walls of our mind - a process that can be releasing and refreshing- but at times disconcerting! The book also provides an introduction to Nasrudin and his stories- and a chapter on Telling Tales; the positive use of stories in organisations....
