Humanitarian Capitalism: Oxymoron or Not? Are human beings being human?
(CALGARY, Canada) Former corporate hotel executive Hugo Bonjean's
traditional views of the world changed when he encountered extreme
poverty and extravagant wealth side-by-side while traveling on business through South America. He witnessed many third-world cultures pushed into a form of economic slavery because of globalization. Many western companies have amassed enormous profits, but abuse human labor to achieve their monetary
goal. As Bonjean traveled throughout South America, he realized that the rest of world only sees the final product of globalization and not thepoverty-ridden people involved in the process it takes to reach it.

People all over the world constantly struggle to integrate a reality
burdened with despair and inequality into a harmonious and happy life. Offering guidance to this complicated moral issue, author and corporate executive Bonjean brings us In the Eyes of Anahita (Synergy Books and Eagle Vision Publishing Ltd., October 2004, ISBN: 0-9747644-9-3, $14.85), an inspiring story about his awakening to the imbalance in the world as we know it. Bonjean has worked relentlessly to create a plan of action that expresses the importance of making corporations socially and environmentally
responsible.

Within In the Eyes of Anahita, Bonjean provokes thought on uestions,
such as:
· Why do we allow hunger to exist in our society?
· What can we do to ensure companies treat their international
employeesfairly?
· How to balance capitalism with human rights

In the Eyes of Anahita offers a wake-up call to the personal power we all hold in recreating the world we dream about and encourages us to find happiness along the way. Bonjean encourages people to find their specific life-purpose and develop more empathy for one another in every situation.

"Hugo Bonjean's novel is a spellbinding journey of discovery.
Magically woven, suspenseful and evocative, it takes us from the world we know into the heart of what it means to be human."

- Diane Dreher, author of The Tao of Personal Leadership

Bonjean currently lives with his wife of 19 years and three children in the foothills near Calgary, Canada, where he provides international business consulting services to corporations that are, or want to become, socially and environmentally responsible.
