In 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.

Weitzner, a professor of management who chooses to look beyond management and mindfulness, envisions a workplace based on the ancient Jewish practices of mitzvah, creating a space for meaningful moments with other people, and chavrusa, co-creating and working on endeavors together.

Combining these spiritual concepts with the voices of today’s political strategists, business leaders, and artists, Connected Capitalism inspires us to approach our work with curiosity, engage with those who were once strangers, and tap into a hopeful and meaningful future.

DAVID WEITZER is an associate professor of management at York University and the author of Psychology Today’s Managing with Meaning blog, which offers strategies for a more human-centric approach to business and life. Think Like a Human builds upon his latest research, covered in academic journals and the popular press alike—including the MIT Sloan Management Review, Psychology Today, Politico, Salon and the Globe and Mail. A seasoned speaker who travels regularly for corporations, universities and conferences, David Weitzner lives in Toronto.
