When my wife and I joined 60 other members of the Entrepreneurs’ Organization’s Nashville chapter for a retreat led by Hindu priest Dandapani, I was skeptical. Like most baby boomers, I went through (and left behind) an Eastern mysticism phase many years ago, and I was leery of revisiting it.

To my surprise and delight, the weekend was light on religion and heavy on simple, practical tools for making better use of your mind, and thus, your life. Plus, I found Dandapani’s lessons can easily apply to PR and marketing.
