Business Secrets of the Trappist Monks is a leadership and management book by entrepreneur and former corporate executive August Turak. Published by Columbia Business School Publishing, it draws on Turak's long association with the Trappist community at Mepkin Abbey and combines those observations with examples from his business career. Its central purpose is to challenge the assumption that ethical commitments, spiritual discipline, and commercial effectiveness are competing priorities. Turak presents monastic practice as a durable organizational model in which service, trust, accountability, purposeful work, and personal transformation reinforce economic performance. The book is not a manual for importing religious observance into a conventional company. Rather, it interprets lessons from a monastic setting for secular leaders, entrepreneurs, and employees. Its approach is reflective as well as practical, linking organizational results to the character and motivations of people within an institution. Turak therefore places questions of meaning and authenticity alongside familiar business concerns such as productivity, leadership, culture, and long term resilience.
