Theory "I”: The Inner Dimension of Leadership
Nader Angha “Pir Oveyssi”
Theory "I" offers a unique view into leadership in each area of human interaction and provides solutions based on eternal principles. The author, Professor Nader Angha approaches this topic with a unique perspective. In his words,
“The review of management, political organization and sociology demonstrates that current theories fail to take into consideration the true value and potential of the individual.” It is the revelation of the means to address this “value and potential” that makes this book unique.
Theory "I" examines current Leadership in theory and practice.
The author introduces each topic and regardless of our background, del-ivers us into a position of clarity. He introduces the essential theories of management theories, political sciences and social sciences and thereby enables the reader to have a clear and independent overview. It is this position that makes us fertile ground for the germination of the concept of Theory "I". Based thereon, a leadership theory can be developed that includes the individual’s potential.
This achieved overview enables the reader to see through ambitious management theories, various political and social systems, the plethora of social theories and principles, and to find one’s way towards the development of individual and lasting solutions. (ISBN 190491604X)
Sufism & Faith
Nader Angha “Pir Oveyssi”
“The spectacle of the universe, as revealed by physical experience, could never have been the ground for true spirituality and religion. The foundation must have been something existing in spite of religious institutions, acquired from a different source, not the input from our physical senses or man-made laws.
Despite all the rules which society imposes upon us, the urge to know is inherent in each human being. It is very obvious in young children, and continues through our life span. The quest for the meaning of life, for self-knowledge, for eternity, is timeless. It is not unique to any particular race, creed or culture, nor bound to any particular place.
We live enmeshed in personal constraints, boundaries and limitations, with conformity ensured through the use of fear. In this state, we lose the intuitive connection to our own soul purpose, and lack a sense of meaning and direction. No matter how much is accomplished, there is still the feeling of something missing.”
The author, who has ascended into the expanse of the spiritual realm, presents the path to transcending the boundaries and limits to discover faith, and move into the inner realm of Knowledge of our true self and mystical experience of the Divine Beloved, God. In this book, family, social, cultural, personal and educational laws are discussed and presented to the reader who can use these to fulfill his own existence. (ISBN 0910735751)
Sufism, A Bridge Between Religions
Nader Angha "Pir Oveyssi"
Sufism: A Bridge Between Religions is an elegant book derived from a lecture delivered in Hamburg, Germany to the Patriotic Society of 1765. The event drew an audience of 1000 guests who came to hear Professor Nader Angha speak as a part of the Societies ‘Inter-religious Dialogues’, meant to increase and improve communications among numerous and diverse religious groups.
The origins of religion and the experience of freedom and unification, which is the essence of religion, are examined and clarified, and the stages and conditions necessary to reach this state are carefully described. He reminds us that there is a divine vision present in our hearts. "To the Sufi, the boundaries separating traditional views of religious institutions are irrelevant. Only the knowledge of God is essential.”
Professor Nader Angha states in his book that “Unless every individual discovers the knowledge and the reality within themselves, we will not have a peaceful, calm and prosperous society.” Sufism teaches concentration of every aspect of one’s being so that everything can be accomplished and understood. Further, we are told that there is more to life than we know, that Existence is not limited to the boundaries of the physical world. ( ISBN 0910735557)

This is attained through focused concentration in the heart and letting go of social habits and attachments which separate us from our inner self. (ISBN 0910735972)
