In the academy of mimetic desire, most written works are difficult. Here is a refreshing difference. Drawing on his life in business and leadership, Burgis connects and explains the nature of mimetic desire in terms more engaging for the person deep in organisational struggles. These are simple ideas. Yet understanding them seems challenging. Burgis uses story after story to help us situate ourselves in a whole new way of understanding.

I've been recommending this to lots of people. Unusually good. Minor quibbles but overall helpful in tone and content. Girard captures biblical wisdom, and Burgis translates Girard into accessible language and practical responses along with added value.

Girard was intially a student and teacher of history and became a student and teacher of literature, and ultimately a teacher of philosophical anthropology.

The author explains mimetic desire and attempts to differentiate between exploiting the irrational mimesis of consumer and followers and transcending mimesis by meditation, "discernment" of real and significant "thick" desires, and by spiritual practices. A reasonable discussion of mimetic theory in the context of making a career as a business leader, and an interesting verbal juggling act.… (mehr)
