Are you doing what you should be doing? Does it make sense that all of us should be working on Great things? How can we find out?
The Atlas of Worldly Wisdom is – in a sense – a guide that aims to help the learner find and pursue their own “Great Work”.
In management, as should be the case in life, we frequently think about the most that can be achieved given the limited resources available to us (Optimization).
