"Hi to everyone at the launch of Zentrepreneurism! And Hello to Allan. I'm delighted to be called a "Zenner" and have been for quite a few years now. My company "Weapons of Mass Entertainment" has many entrepreneurial ventures in the works all of which will impact the planet in a positive way. I hope the book launch goes well and that many of you get the same buzz I got when reading it. Life is too short to mess around doing other stuff...start zenning today!"

“Allan Holender reveals the valueless and destructive tendencies of contemporary business ... while remaining passionately and optimistically committed to the possibility of a better future.”—Joel Bakan, author and screenwriter, The Corporation
"Allan, your commitment and passion to this "movement" is inspiring. As with any movement it takes both a leader and patience. Corporate America (and business the world over) is blessed that YOU are the one with the strength, conviction, passion and insight to lead us during such an otherwise unsettling and pivotal time. It is long overdue that the worlds of business, self-help and spirituality come together for not only the good of business but for the good of humanity."---Michael C. Rosone, Managing Director, Soundboard, New Jersey
“Zentrepreneurism is an ethos — already in use — whose time has come ... and Allan Holender is the messenger. Allan has emerged from the fires of greed-based capitalism ahead of his time, showing the way business will be in the future. That said, the future is now.” —Yves Farges, founder and CEO, Qualifirst Group.
“Allan Holender has looked unflinchingly at the dark and self-destructive aspects of our business culture ... that most commentators ignore or deny. Zentrepreneurism, the profound but practical philosophy that he dramatically outlines in this book, builds upon capitalism’s most powerful assets while infusing it with a higher purpose. It is more than a new business model. It is an inspiring new value system for business leaders, a guidepost for the twenty-fi rst century.”—Robert L. FitzPatrick, business analyst and author of the book False Profit.
“Zentrepreneurism is an excellent and often humorous guide for those wishing to blend entrepreneurship ... with their higher aspirations, and what better man than Allan Holender to accomplish this! Allan Holender is quite the guy: open seeker, Yiddish jokester, empathetic listener, articulate ethicist — keen and sincere to raise consciousness in the corporate world. To manifest his vision, he has midwifed Zentrepreneurism — to spark and serve a need to develop ethics and spirituality within the mundane and sometimes dirty world of business. He cites many examples of leaders who have incorporated varying measures of ethics and spirit into their entrepreneurial organizations. Read the book, and take something of value from it.”—Arran Stephens, founder and CEO of Nature’s Path,North America’s largest organic breakfast foods company“
This book is a passionate, profound invitation ... to stop thinking about business and life as it should be and to start experiencing it as it could be.”—Stuart Avery Gold, author of Ping: A Frog in Search of a New Pond.
