For decades business management teams have learned lessons and absorbed wisdom from an array of disciplines - psychology, sociology, biology and more - but philosophy, and the wisdom it embodies, has long been overlooked. World-renowned business philosopher Anders Indset wants to correct this oversight through his mission to introduce practical philosophy into every organisation. Intended as a source of inspiration, Philosophy@Work explores the integration of philosophical tenets into the business landscape, and how they can be applied to personal development, the art of leadership and coping with the forces of change. Within its pages are reflections from twenty-seven of the world's leading business thinkers, including Dorie Clark, Erica Dhawan, Mark Esposito, Stew Friedman, Marshall Goldsmith, Anil K. Gupta, Gianpiero Petriglieri, Haiyan Wang and many more. Through articles, interviews, and essays, they share their insights into the profound impact philosophy can have on business. This is a starting point to a world of practical applied philosophy, a first glimpse into the beginning of a new era.

Today, we live and do business in a world where society gathers knowledge faster than it gathers wisdom. It is a world of continuous revolution and change. Those who manage to find, structure and exploit the power of `Wild Knowledge' - ie, the untamed data, learnings and experiences that flourish in our lives and minds - will come out the winners. In combination, we need to develop our ability to understand and judge which aspects of that knowledge are applicable to business and life in general. This is the so-called `Vicious Wisdom' which will force you to unlearn, to choose an approach of unthinking, in order to reach a deeper understanding, meaning and reason in your quest to find new and different solutions. This book, written by a leading futurist/philosopher, presents a powerful and radical approach to thinking about and solving our future lives and businesses.
