If *you* could imagine your heaven, how would you make it?
What is the ‘ideal outcome’ of our Great Work?
If you could shape the world, how would that go?

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”.

“The greatest evils in the world will not be carried out by men with guns, but by men in suits sitting behind desks.”
