What is Your Version of Heaven?

If *you* could imagine your heaven, how would you make it?

If you could shape the world, how would that go?

This post is related to “The Atlas of Worldly Wisdom“, a course on the integration of better learning, better planning, and better work, into creativeness.

What is your “Great Work”?

Or… Is your current work Great? (Check the questionnaire)

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).

So the question is : What is our great work? How can we find it?

To Know or To Do : Timing & Awareness-Intent-Creativeness (AIC)

When do you ‘do’? When do you ‘know’ enough?

Knowledge or Action?

The Awareness-Intent-Creativeness triple spiral is the central framework of The Atlas of Worldly Wisdom (TAWW). It is an attempt to simplify our understanding of work and our aspiration for creativeness.

To Know or To Do… That is the (real) Question!

The below are reflections on Knowledge vs Action, inspired by discussions in The Atlas of Worldly Wisdom.

Mundane Evil & Creativity : “I was just doing my Job..”

More often than not, evil is not one great shocking act. Mundane evil is the most prevalent form.. and what we come to see as great evil sometimes [usually in retrospect], starts with small tasks, and accumulates simple additions as it goes.

Ironically, I think this summarizes “Oppenheimer” – the events, and the 2023 film.

Oppenheimer: A story of Mundane Evil

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