From Library Journal Maurer retranslates a 17th-century Jesuits aphorisms and reflections on the morality of success. This long-admired work sounds surprisingly relevant today. It also combines brevity and grace of expression with wise advice, which should appeal to those seeking how-to spirituality which is universal, practical, and applicable in business.
