Insights On Personal Growth: Volume 1 - Free Chapter

I recently decided to publish these essays in book form. I’ve always cherished books—for me, they offer a sense of permanence that blogs and tweets cannot. This is the third volume in the Insights series, focusing on personal growth, which I believe is deeply connected to professional development.

Many of these reflections emerged from conversations and experiences with people around the world. Though I’m not a family therapist, I’ve noticed that the challenges people face in their personal lives often mirror those in organizations. Topics like meditation, divorce, and addiction—whether to food, technology, or work—have a profound impact on both personal and professional realms.

These essays were originally posted on my blog. Based on reader feedback, I revised and updated them, and now present them here in a refined form. I hope these Insights spark thought and dialogue on how globalization is reshaping our lives—both at work and at home.
