Opis

This book reflects on the models of leadership espoused by ancient Indic traditions, in particular the Advaita Vedanta tradition. Focusing primarily on the Rajarshi—'the philosopher king’—the volume showcases how using these models in contemporary society could lead to the creation of self-aware leaders, and an inclusive society.
