dot ZEN, the book, is co-authored by Dr Seamus Phan and Ter Hui Peng, from Singapore. The book features Zen inspired thoughts and philosophy in marketing, branding, public relations or PR, entrepreneurship, leadership, ethics, human resource management, and the use of the Internet. The book features real-world case studies from Asia Pacific, including Singapore, with insider's tips and techniques on how to manage and run a business department or venture more effectively. Tips including how to make elevator pitches, how to look for the right financiers and VCs, how to create winning coopetition, creating compassionate leadership, how to rescue and revitalize aging brands. This book's philosophy is simple, and yet manifest in many ways, in a succinct format easily understood and applied, unless many theoretical books by academics with no real world experience, or books that have long text passages with little learning or practical points. Like Harvey Mackay and Zig Ziglar for your business survival, like Tom Peters for honest, hard-hitting truth that wakes you up, like Guy Kawasaki and Steve Jobs of Apple Computer for their visionary dreams and the ability to evangelize to millions of others, like Seth Godin, Al Ries, and Philip Kotler for marketing smarts, like Charles Schwab for financial smarts and accountability and for turning around a company for profits, like Brian Tracy for sales smarts and getting leads into contracts, like John C Maxwell for business leadership and creating value out of teams and people, like Stephen R Covey and Ken Blanchard for ways of harnessing time to do things effectively. Dot ZEN also brings inspiration and motivation to the readers, like Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen, but at a more spiritual level, humbly parallel to the thoughts and philosphy of Buddhist gurus such as His Holiness The Dalai Lama. And yet, dot ZEN is like NONE of these authors, in the sense that the governing wisdom is the deep Buddhist Zen thoughts, that are profound, enlightened and liberated. It is bound by no mortal environment or constraint, and once mastered, can bring a business venture to new enlightened heights, without the shackles of human entanglements or emotional problems.

Dr Seamus Phan has previously experienced, authored and taught competitive business thinking and strategy programs, including unique training programs for persuasion, sales and business leadership, based on "The Book of 5 Rings", "The 3 Kingdoms", which are equally powerful and similar works to Sun Tzu's "The Art of War". However, as he progressed in life and work, he discovered that sheer competitive thinking does not help companies survive or succeed in the long-term, much as short-term focused companies such as Enron and Worldcom ended in the situation of insolvency and colossal financial burden. A more collaborative, compassionate and ethical strategy is needed, and "Dot ZEN" was conceived.
