Although the interview is short I was able to find the core ideology behind the book from the author. I present the interview to my readers. Question: Whom do you think must read this book?Answer:If you have the desire to reach your full-potential in life- this book is for you. While it is written for an audience of entrepreneurs, the six core principles presented in the book are necessary and valuable for anyone looking to make a radical and transformational change in their life personally or professionally.Q: What is this conscious entrepreneurship?A: The short answer is that a conscious entrepreneur is a business owner who is also dedicated to the practice of greater awareness and personal growth. It is someone who realizes that by reaching their own greatest potential, they will also help their business to achieve the greatest possible success. The long answer can be found here: http://lauraccannon.com/articles/what-is-a-conscious-entrepreneur/Q: Why should anyone read this book?A: Every human being has a greater need to “self-actualize,” to become their best self. This book highlights some of the key traits shared by famous self-actualizers so that we can learn what attitudes and perspectives we can cultivate to give us our best chance at living our dream life. This book is great for anyone (and especially entrepreneurs) who wants to experience more success, freedom, and happiness in their life. I also have an amazing exercise on my website to help anyone find and follow their calling (http://lauraccannon.com/offers/), which can be a great starting point for creating lasting change personally and professionally.Q: How much are you influenced by Eastern philosophy?A: I am influenced by many areas including modern psychology and personal development, but Eastern Philosophy is one of my greatest influences. I teach meditation and yoga and I have a background in Buddhism, so many of the ideas found in that philosophy are brought to bear in my work and in my writing. I dedicate whole chapters in the book to concepts of presence and impermanence which are found throughout Eastern philosophy, yet are highly applicable to entrepreneurs caught in the hustle of Western society. Thanks to iRead Book tours for presenting me the opportunity to interact with the author get the insight.
