"You're stuck inside Fahrenheit 451, which book do you want to be? To be a book in a time when books are being simultaneously revered and obliterated is pretty much like being a human on the planet today (and most likely, at any point in history.) But I assume this refers to the intellectual outlaws in Bradbury's book who have memorized literary works so that someday, when it is safe to do so, they can print them again. So, with that in mind, I'd like to memorize "Mindfulness and Meaningful Work - Explorations in Right Livelihood", essays edited by Claude Whitmyer. It would be a good text to have at the renewal of culture."

• "Getting Paid," by Kristen Anundsen. Newsweek, November 20, 1995. "Whatever your reasons for being in business -- fulfilling your potential, making the world a better place, having fun -- you've got to make money. And you can't make money if you don't collect it. This obvious fact seems to escape some first-time entrepreneurs. 'I can't tell you how many clients I have who say they're too busy to send out bills,' says Claude Whitmyer, a San Francisco-based small-business consultant."

• Hamilton, J.B. III and D. Hock. "Ethical Standards for Business Lobbying: Some Practical Suggestions," Business Ethics Quarterly, Vol. 7: no. 3 (July) 1997, 117-129.
       ABSTRACT: Rather than being inherently evil, business lobbying is a socially responsible activity which needs to be restrained by ethical standards. To be effective in a business environment, traditional ethical standards need to be translated into language which business persons can speak comfortably. Economical explanations must also be available to explain why ethical standards are appropriate in business. Eight such standards and their validating arguments are proposed with examples showing their use. Internal dialogues regarding the ethics of lobbying objectives and tactics will plausibly occur only in businesses which recognize social responsibility mandates. Public interest stakeholders could hasten this recognition by making use of information made available by the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995 to institute external dialogues regarding lobbying by specific businesses and industry groups . Given practical ethical standards and the information on business lobbying provided by the law, the press, corporate activists, consumers, pension fund managers and the public can apply pressure for ethical lobbying practices.
       CITATION: "Questions regarding professional character might be couched in Aristotelian terms (Solomon, 1992) or in the Buddhist context of 'right livelihood,' a moral guide which proscribes work that causes harm (Whitmyer, 1994)."
