Budism(s) is a snapshot of the life and times of Bud Mapes, a lobbyist in the Louisiana legislature for over fifty years. It’s done in the format of a short business manual that one might use when embarking on a career, while building up the pursuit of a career, and when an occupation gets plentiful. Some personal stories show how he put his folksy sayings into practice in the business world, and at the same time, we’ve cultivated some wider general principals usable in just about any vocation one chooses to undertake.
