Maya's Paradox

Asma's third publication, "Maya's Paradox," demonstrates her remarkable productivity and creative prowess, following closely on the heels of her previous works, "Reflections" and "S.H.O.R.E."

This storytelling approach aligns with the philosophical tradition of utilizing narratives to shape social values, as advocated by various philosophers including Plato and Aristotle.Through over 30 vignettes, Asma masterfully develops Maya's character, presenting her as a resilient and principled individual confronting various moral, ethical, and intricate dilemmas. These episodic stories coalesce around a central theme: unwavering commitment to core ethical values. Each narrative concludes with a poignant lesson or quotation, offering practical wisdom for readers.While the stories' optimistic resolutions may occasionally stray from realism, Asma's own words encapsulate the book's essence: "In our professional roles, we sometimes encounter circumstances where it is essential to provide our sincere viewpoints, even if the eventual consequences might be unfavorable for us. Our commitment to our career and job necessitates this approach." This collection serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of upholding fundamental ethical principles in the corporate sphere, often dominated by commercial interests.In conclusion, Asma deserves accolades for crafting another thought-provoking work that underscores the significance of ethical considerations in professional settings. "Maya's Paradox" constitutes a valuable addition to the literature on corporate ethics, encouraging readers to reflect on their own values and decision-making processes.Scholars and practitioners interested in business ethics, corporate social responsibility, and narrative inquiry will find "Maya's Paradox" a compelling and insightful read.
