Doing good works

In today's corporate world, the persistent myth prevails that fierce competition leads to the best results. The survival-of-the-fittest mindset is so deeply ingrained in us that we see colleagues as rivals, consider the overachieving boss as the most successful, and even accept immorality when it serves our own interests. This fuels workplace distrust, plummets motivation, and literally makes people ill. Conflict, absenteeism, burnout, and depression have reached unprecedented levels.  

This perspective is the opposite of what's needed in our global, technology-driven economy. To ensure prosperity and well-being in today's turbulent world, we need each other more than ever. How can we rediscover connection and meaning in business? How can we reconcile humanity with achieving results? How can we maximize individual responsibility for a shared goal? Are doing good and financial success opposites, or can they strengthen each other?

Unique encounters led to many new insights, but to his surprise, he found ultimate wisdom in the world's oldest book, casually forgotten at the bottom of his wife's old school bag...
