Russell Simmons recently wrote a book Do You: 12 Laws to Access the Power in You to Achieve Happiness and Success.  Russell Simmons is known for his work with Def Jam Records, Phat Farm, and Def Comedy Jam and referred to as “The CEO of Hip Hop.”  While most people know him as an entertainment mogul, he attributes his success to spiritual principles that he lays out in his book.  In the introduction he says, “Instead of The Prince or The Art of War, these laws are rooted in books like Autobiography of a Yogi or The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali.”

The book is an interesting example of how an entertainment mogul applies spiritual principles to his work.  Russell explains that he is able to be focused through daily mediation and yoga and also how important it is for him to give back.  There are many interesting antedotes throughout the book that give a glimpse into the daily business operations of his life and how he approached these challenges from a spiritual perspective.
