Over the years, we have been advising individuals and leaders in all walks of life and in many of the world's leading organizations in the areas of Innovation and meaning. A few years ago we noticed that something was changing. People told us that they were losing enthusiasm and meaning in both their personal and work lives. Many felt that they were rushing through life, just going through the motions. Many felt that their work lacked meaning, that the products and services they were offering lacked meaning, and that, increasingly, they felt that they weren't making a positive difference in the world around them.
The existential question people kept asking us was: "How can we live more meaningful lives?" So we decided to go in search of an answer. Our journey took us back to Greece, where we visited many traditional Greek villages and were met with amazing hospitality. We danced on the very beach where the character Zorba danced and felt the burdens of life lift from our shoulders. We rose at dawn to watch the fishermen return with their early-morning catches. We walked in the footsteps of the Minoans and marveled at the high quality of life they enjoyed so many millennia ago. We celebrated birthdays, name days, weddings and special holidays with feasts attended by extended families and people from neighboring villages. We sat with indigenous villagers of all ages to listen to their life stories. We explored, we listened and we learned.
