Jeffrey’s penetrating conversation with Alan Lurie, Managing Director at Grubb & Ellis, a national real estate service firm in New York City and author of Five Minutes on Mondays: Finding Unexpected Purpose, Peace and Fulfillment at Work.
Following a 25-year career as a licensed architect, Alan became a nondenominational ordained Rabbi and has been teaching, leading prayer services and writing on issues of faith and religion. This combination of meeting the demands of the business world while attending to the needs of the spirit gives Alan both insight into, and access to, a very diverse world.
In March, Alan’s book: Five Minutes on Mondays, was published and released and our conversation today investigates his remarkable story of how he has become a modern day office guru……if you can, just imagine the leaders of one of New York City’s top real estate firms coming together every Monday morning to hear…the moral and spiritual thoughts of a Rabbi.
Imagine them returning, week after week…coming to eagerly anticipate those five minutes as a moment of uncommon peace in the world’s most brutally competitive environment.
Wouldn’t you like to be a fly on the wall? To hear the paths Alan Lurie traced for his listeners, how he helped them bring together their spiritual and business lives, the sacred and the profane? Alan’s book, Five Minutes on Mondays compiles these talks for the first time, sharing his deep and profound inspiration on the challenges everyone face’s–at work, and in life.
Alan draws on millennia of philosophy, theology, and science to help us answer our deepest questions, comfort our deepest yearnings, and become better people–more connected to each other, and to the a Greater Purpose.
