This book (three years in the making) began as a 30-minute keynote address that I delivered at a conference. In that address, I asked the audience, “How do you design meaning?” I wanted to know if we can transform the way we approach value creation by looking at the essence of value itself: time, money, and true meaning/happiness.
I began my research by investigating companies and brands, from two-century-old brands to startups. I explored how and what we lose when we choose automation over artisanship, quantity over quality, and expediency over mindfulness. This book examines what gives meaning to life and to experiences. It is designed to help all creators—entrepreneurs, builders, designers, visionaries, and doers—develop a deep sense of awareness, so that they can manifest dreams and ideas with positive impact. It explores the process of developing equanimity and grace, and a true sense of self. It teaches the importance of understanding your own value, before you can help others create. This book is about doing what is “right” and maybe at times difficult, as opposed to what is expedient, because the outcome goes beyond reaping profits or short-term rewards and encompasses results that are scalable and that positively impact our world.
