Human flourishing should be the first lesson you learn on your first day at business school. And, it should be repeated until the very last lecture. 

If that's not what you're being taught, why are you there? What of lasting value is the school offering you?

Surround yourself with teachers and colleagues who share your values. People who share your passion for business as a calling; business as an agent of world betterment. 

If you find yourself in a school that focuses on anything else, keep asking your teachers and your fellow students to aim higher. Demonstrate with your life and your work that there is something even more important than maximizing shareholder value. Something even more important than power and prestige and a promotion at work.

If you think you're alone in seeing a better way to do business, you're not. 

There's a growing movement of business people who imagine a better world. And, better ways of doing business. Reach out to them. Reach out to me. 

One of the leaders of this even-better-way movement, is David Heinemeier Hansson. He often writes like some Old Testament prophet. He speaks with burning passion that few people in business or technology can match.  

David begins a recent post by confronting the opposite of human flourishing in business entitled,  "The totalitarians of the attention economy."

He begins by writing, "It's become increasingly common for executives of dominant internet services to see their competition as all of human activity. Not just activity spent on competing or adjacent services, no, all activity of any kind. Any time spent outside their service equating to minutes on the clock to conquer."
