Although he is white, Rettinghaus said he had not felt pressured to step away from any Black roles, adding that the same opportunities should apply to actors of all races. Kaze Uzumaki, a Black colleague of Rettinghaus, said it was more complicated than that. Uzumaki dubs the character of Paul in Soul and has lent his voice to the German versions of dozens of other American films and television series. Almost without exception, his roles were originally played by actors of colour.

The discrimination is often double-edged. Some directors say that demographics limit who they select. You must let it find you. I consider this book an essential resource for students of authenticity. Using poetry and myth, David Whyte speaks soulfully to those of us who have been wandering in the wasteland of corporate America and who, for whatever reasons, have awakened enough to realize something is missing.

Nov 07, Anima rated it really liked it. The poet needs the practicalities of making a living to test and temper the lyricism of insight and observation. The meeting of those two worlds forms the very heart of this book. We kneel, as if by the side of a pool, seeing in one moment not only the fleeting and gossamer reflection of our own face, clouded and disturbed by every passing breath and the lives of all the innumerable creatures that live in its waters, but the hidden depths below, beyond our sight, sustaining and holding everything we comprehend.

For anyone who wants to explore the connection between their work and life outside of work, this book is pure gold. Whyte helps readers to navigate the stresses and pitfalls of working by using poetry, myth, and metaphorical imagery to build bridges between interior and exterior realities of human experience.

If work feels like a stress festival, and if you love poetry, imagination, and myth, you may find this book to be an oasis of solace and wisdom, as well as a very practical guide for feelin For anyone who wants to explore the connection between their work and life outside of work, this book is pure gold. If work feels like a stress festival, and if you love poetry, imagination, and myth, you may find this book to be an oasis of solace and wisdom, as well as a very practical guide for feeling better about swimming in the land of limited time and endless responsibilities.

A treasure that brings tears to my eyes. My journey with books has been the journey to fall in love with the world. To meet friends, find security, and finally--finally--learn to think beautiful thoughts that are my own.

I think this is the last book I'll post on Goodreads. It's been a great experience, and I'm ready to step away. Oct 10, Josh Workman rated it really liked it Shelves: read , personal-management , eco-philosophy , business. Whyte uses helpful metaphors to identify the monoculture of the corporate experience, and how easy it is to lose ourselves in the identify of the larger organizations we are a part of. He offers wonderful poetry, language, and examples on how to deepen in to our personal callings and mysteries that expand far beyond our organizational participation as a way to honestly bring our gifts into the world.

Jun 02, Emily rated it liked it Shelves: non-fiction , poetry , philosophy. I marked so many passages in this book, and it was a very worthwhile read. Something about the flow and how the concepts were all connected could have been a little more focused. I've already recommended it a few times though. Feb 05, Nathan rated it really liked it. The book was written in If anything, the rapid increase in technology has exacerbated some of the conflict that is described in this book.

I found much of the arguments in the book to be quite thought-provoking with the potential to stimulate real self-reflection. I would recommend this book to anyone who has not mastered the balance of your personal identity, your workplace, your family and your community. You will not find any easy answers, but you will be presented with a wide range of ideas to help you down your own path.

David Whyte's writing reveals that he's a man who's truly explored the depth of his own soul and treaded through the dark to see through to the light. He brings various elements of spiritual life in his prose to bring to light what is corporations today: a desire for control, authoritarianism, desire for certainty and fixation, displacement of human wholeness, cutting off the darkness, lack of creativity and aliveness, lack of honesty and courage, cutting off from the ecology, a campground for o David Whyte's writing reveals that he's a man who's truly explored the depth of his own soul and treaded through the dark to see through to the light.

He brings various elements of spiritual life in his prose to bring to light what is corporations today: a desire for control, authoritarianism, desire for certainty and fixation, displacement of human wholeness, cutting off the darkness, lack of creativity and aliveness, lack of honesty and courage, cutting off from the ecology, a campground for one's own abyss, and many more.

His writing is poetic and abstract, may be challenging for consumption for those in the corporate environment to reap the benefits. Sep 17, Hemanth rated it really liked it. If work is the world, then the soul is our home. This book explores the possibility of being at home in the world, melding soul life with work life, the inner ocean of longing and belonging with the outer ground of strategy and organizational control.

Its aim is to reconcile the left-hand ledger sheet of the soul with the right-hand ledger sheet of the corporate world, a kind of double-entry bookkeeping that can bring together two opposing sides of ourselves. Dec 11, David Pace added it. Poetry and our contemporary working life never had more to say to each other, including those ensconced in corporate life where one would think poetry and lyricism have been relegated to the basement.

A modern-day prophet of the way the humanities shape, inform and revolutionize our internal lives and the lives we share with others, Whyte invites us to see even the most mundane life in a shirt and tie as ecstatic, trans-formative. Dec 29, Elizabeth rated it liked it. Some of them quite lyrical. It took me weeks to get through it because of both the font and the wordiness. I loved some of the connections and conclusions that Whyte makes, especially about preserving innocence while valuing experience, about bringing genuine and complex humanity into the workplace.

But this could have been half the length and made the same points. Feb 11, Beth rated it really liked it. This book challenged my cynical attitudes about what level of creativity and authenticity can be had in the standard white collar corporate American career. I remain pessimistic on that front overall, but less so after reading this. Loved the application of literary analysis; this book summarizes a number of "life lessons" relevant to just about anybody in most walks of life, regardless of occupation.

Sometimes meanders a bit before returning to its main points, but highly thought-provoking. Apr 19, Kyra rated it really liked it. I read parts of this book almost 20 years ago and had a hart time getting into it. I recently reread and found it relevant and powerful. As a CEO of a company, I am interested in how to build a culture and company that will encourage people to bring their whole self, including heart and soul into work. I think that work can provide meaning, creativity, and growth to people.

A thought provoking look at work and career as part of pursuing the good life. May 25, Nathan rated it really liked it. Didn't finish this because it was a library book but really enjoyed what I did read. This book looks into the soul of corporate life, talks about the real motivations you have and then the tasks you have to do on a job. I'd love to re-borrow and read more of this book.

This kind of approach must be seen as the "great art" of working in order to live, of remembering what is most important in the order of priorities and what place we occupy in a much greater story than the one our job description defines.

Other "great arts," such as poetry, can remind and embolden us to this end. Whatever we choose to do, the stakes are very high.

With a little more care, a little more courage, and, above all, a little more soul, our lives can be so easily discovered and celebrated in work, and not, as now, squandered and lost in its shadow. Everything you desired coming in one fearful moment to greet you. Tiptoeing like the unwitting souls of classical myth who blundered into Pan on the mountainside, we have ventured into the sacred temenos of our own desiring and startled a god.

The universe turns toward us, realizing we are here, alive and about to make our mark. We hear the wild divine elements in the world hold their breath, waiting for our next move, our next word, but at last the center of real attention, we turn quietly and take a step back, into the shadow of the trees, and, it is hoped, a quieter life.

It is open to a side of life that a sunny disposition must ignore in order to carry on smiling. It is less interested in pretense and more aware of the suffering entailed in daily living.

It is realistic about the balance of suffering and happiness, but because of this realism is willing to be thankful for whatever genuine happiness is possible.
