“Zen Entrepreneurship,” an Amazon Bestseller Book on Spirituality and Business, is Free This Week

Renowned entrepreneur and investor Rizwan “Riz” Virk is announcing that for one week only, his bestselling first book, “Zen Entrepreneurship: Walking the Path of the Career Warrior,” will be free for readers on Amazon’s Kindle.  Click Here to get your free copy.
 
The book is both an inspirational story and a how-to book for navigating one of the most difficult issues of our time: how to balance our work with our spiritual growth.  More importantly, the book contains techniques for finding your true work in life, and using “clues” – signs, synchronicity, intuition – to find and walk your own unique path in life.
 
The book is also a remarkably candid look inside the stressful world of tech startups - a tale of spiritual awakening set in an unusual place – the business world.  
 
Based on the true story of how Riz started and grew his first startup after graduating from MIT, it incorporates learnings about venture capital, customer acquisition and business success with learnings about meditation, dreams, synchronicity, stress, and finding your unique path in life.
 
The free kindle ebook promotion runs from Saturday, September 22 until September 27.  On its first day, Zen Entrepreneurship became the #1 downloaded book in the Entrepreneurship and Personal Success kindle categories, in addition to its standing as an Amazon bestseller when the book was originally released.
 
Foster Gamble, creator and host of “Thrive: What on Earth Will It Take,” a documentary that has been seen over 70 million times, says of the book: 
“‘Tales of Power’ meets the ‘Peaceful Warrior’ …in Silicon Valley! It’s entertaining, humble, insightful and valuable – not just to entrepreneurs, but to anyone looking to manifest their dreams and make a difference in the world!”
 
Bestselling author Dannion Brinkley, author of “Saved by the Light” and “At Peace in the Light,” says: “Riz’s books will help you to be successful while walking a spiritual path in life.”
 
Pam Grout, #1 New York Times Bestselling author of “E-squared,” has said about Riz’s related second book, Treasure Hunt: “So glad that someone from the Tech world is speaking up about synchronicities, signs, and spiritual guidance. Thanks Riz … for giving us a compelling guide for finding the map we all contain inside.”
 
Silicon Valley entrepreneur and investor Rizwan Virk has inspired and mentored would-be entrepreneurs and business owners around the world.  Let his work mentor you as well with a free copy of Zen Entrepreneurship on your Amazon kindle.
