Review\n"For business leaders whose education and experience have focused only on profit and end results, Weitzner’s book, as well as other works that he mentions, can provide some guidance in how to change the office dynamic." -- Sheryl Pockrose ― The American Israelite\n“Mamesh, there’s some good stuff in here!” -- Rabbi Tzvi Freeman, senior editor at Chabad.org and author of Wisdom to Heal the Earth\n“At first glance, one might worry about what David Weitzner’s integration of business with spirituality might mean for religion. But what they should really be wondering about is how this truly spiritual approach to commerce will make ‘business as usual’ utterly impossible.” -- Douglas Rushkoff, Professor of Media Theory and Digital Economics, Queen's College, City University of New York, and author of Team Human, Present Shock, and Throwing Rocks at the Google Bus\n“David Weitzner does an impeccable job of connecting the spiritual with the corporate, explaining how the new workplace is better served by the bridging of these two seemingly disparate disciplines. The result is a roadmap for improvement that leaders need to understand.” -- Michael Solomon, co-founder of 10x Management and 10x Ascend, and co-author of Game Changer: How to Be 10x in the Talent Economy\n"A timely and enlightening book on how to bring our whole selves to work. Written from a Jewish perspective, this book will be of interest to anyone searching for meaning in business. David Weitzner’s focus on connection and wonder will resonate with all spiritual seekers. The book is both inspiring and practical. It brings the ancient Jewish tradition into conversation with some of today’s most pressing and important issues and does so in a readable, lively, and compelling way.” -- Moses L. Pava, Alvin H. Einbender University Professor in Business Ethics, Yeshiva University\n"I enjoyed reading David Weitzner's provocative book. Even though I strongly believe that capitalism and competition has provided significant benefits to society, I agree that a successful business also relies on trust and cooperation in its relations with its customers, workers, and suppliers. Weitzner argues that we should think of work within a concept of ‘"connected capitalism.’". The best part of this argument is related to spiritualism – we should not be spiritual but do spiritualism. He ties this in with the Jewish concept of chavrusa – taking personal responsibility to fix things in our daily lives." -- Jack M. Mintz, President’s Fellow of the School of Public Policy, University of Calgary\n"David Weitzner’s voice is a measured, compassionate one as it rises above the din of knee-jerk opinion and judgement. Listen: the man has ideas and he knows how to communicate them." -- Nels Cline, Wilco guitarist, composer\n"What a book! I find myself nodding and smiling, clenching my fists, gnashing my teeth, and laughing while I read. A vital, significant, and deeply personal book, Connected Capitalism looks at how we can redeem ourselves as a species, a culture, and a society." -- Sunshine Jones, electronic musician\n"David Weitzner brilliantly draws from Jewish wisdom in Connected Capitalism to align our workplaces with our values." -- Tiffany Shlain, author of 24/6: Giving up Screens One Day a Week to Get More Time, Creativity, and Connection and founder of The Webby Awards\nIn our present state of disconnect and loss, Connected Capitalism offers us a deeper and more satisfying approach to both work and life. 
What should our post-COVID work world look like? 
In Connected Capitalism, David Weitzner shows us how to draw from the classic teachings of Judaism in order to positively transform our workplaces and our working lives. He outlines a philosophy that will empower the disenchanted to build a stable future in a world of crony capitalism, global pandemics, racial injustice, and social disconnect.

Prescriptions for imaginative living in today’s noisy and ever-narrowing world Our social conversation has gone awry. We have allowed the wrong people to lay claim to substantial amounts of social, political and economic power, leaving many of us to feel left out, left behind or left alone. We need to rethink what it means to listen, to think, to create and to be democratically engaged citizens. But how? Fifteen Paths is a book of hope. Documenting a year of searching, a disillusioned business professor gave up on old arguments and set out to learn about the power of imagination with iconoclastic visionaries of dissonant rock, punk shamanism, ecstatic dance, poetic rap, fantastical comics, magical clowning and mystical channeling. The men and women David Weitzner sought out shared life-altering thoughts. Lee Ranaldo (Sonic Youth): a romantic spirit bolsters focus and spurs the quest for ideas; Nels Cline (Wilco): the trust of a wordless consensus is more life-affirming than winning an argument; Slava Polunin: rule-breaking unlocks untapped capacity for innovation; Jeff Coffin (Dave Matthews Band): how to change the way we listen; Sunshine Jones (Dubtribe Sound System): what it means to trade fairly; Mike Doughty (Soul Coughing): the secret of creative entrepreneurs; Jill Cunniff (Luscious Jackson): the foundations of a more inclusive business model for creativity; Del the Funky Homosapien: why there is power in laughter; Angelo Moore (Fishbone): curiosity is inseparable from optimism; Mike Mignola (Hellboy): creative minds embrace fairy-tale logic; Sonic Boom (Spacemen 3): we have a responsibility to play in the spaces left open for us; Tzvi Freeman: there is spiritual power in surprising ourselves ― and God; Dany Lyne: overcome trauma by connecting with elders; Lydia Lunch: we need to recreate ourselves to claim power in oppressive times. Fifteen Paths concludes that there are no passive observers: this is an indispensable guide on how we can improve civic participation politically, expand inclusiveness in the world of economics, express our hopes and fears in the spiritual realm and build a shared culture of wisdom.
