sacred bull – is it familiar?

My six-year old son showed me a book. He clarified with me when he read the title, “Sacred Bull”. I just responded him that the book is for the “old”.

I remember when I was still a “post graduate” student during my younger years (when I was still single and younger at heart:), my classmate wanted to have an exchange token. She insisted to swap her book titled, “Sacred Bull”. That was in 1998 – ten years ago. When I read the title, “Sacred Bull” by a clinical psychologist, Albert Bernstein and writer/editor, Sydney Craft Rozen, I thought that it is another management book which talks purely about work. I became interested when the authors mentioned about “the perfectionist who micromanages everything, the complainer who always knows where to fix the blame but never how to fix the problem and the perpetually “nice” person – telling people what they want to hear.” The authors have also discussed enthusiastically about attitude and personality.

According to the authors, Sacred Bulls are beliefs that we follow without thinking because these are ideas that nobody checks or questions because “we’ve done it this way”. Sometimes, these are the source of many of the frustration at work. The authors have discussed each sacred bull in the entire book but I’d like to share each sacred bull in one line.

Thanks for reading here>>Â
