«The Hungry Spirit» is Charles Handy's essay published by Random House Business in paperback (288 pages, in English).
Handy argues that materialist capitalism is self-limiting and that misunderstood efficiency erodes social cohesion. He questions the certainties of science and religion, and proposes a meaning of life based on identity, the arts, and immortality. His proposal offers an alternative vision for organizations, business, and morality.
The book was originally published in 1997; this edition came out on September 3, 1998. The cover includes the subtitle «New Thinking for a New World».
For readers of business and philosophical essays interested in personal purpose, criticism of capitalism, and the role of organizations.
Charles Brian Handy, CBE was an Irish author and philosopher who specialised in organisational behaviour and management. Among the ideas he advanced are the "portfolio career" and the "shamrock organization".
