(Publisher’s Synopsis) Reviewing a Biography of Each of Us explores the ethics of today’s worldwide business culture and investigates how overseeing a business demands a focus on self-knowledge and work/life synergy as a basis for achieving increased productivity, job satisfaction, and personal fulfillment among all workers.

Progress in leadership, management and strategy has not ceased the increase in job stress, corruption, and distrust within corporations. This guidebook implies a new way of thinking that will encourage business leaders to contemplate changing a top-down, bottom-up business methodology to one that helps all workers realize their true abilities, improve relationships, and successfully manage job or business demands.

(Author’s Comment) The global economy is exploited by commerce, trade liberalization and economic growth for the purpose of narrow corporate interests, while businesses finance politics and science, expecting to be paid back later with unfair favors. Mental and emotional health complaints due to problems at work exceed those caused by any other life stressor, more so than even financial or family problems. About one in four adults suffers from a diagnosable mental disorder. Moreover, the numbers of suicides due to job stress are alarming worldwide, particularly in wealthy countries. If we keep pushing our resources to the limits and continue on the current path, we will perish altogether and prove Nostradamus right.

In Reviewing a Biography of Each of Us, the process of reflecting on, analyzing, making sense of, reframing and/or changing our self and work-life experience self-satisfactorily, is investigated. The problem is how to shift our paradigm to enable us to practice what we think is good for our self and righteousness. How do we become open-minded enough to trust our judgment of what is good for our self and righteousness that dignifies perceptual and cultural differences as well as gender equality in order to enable work-life synergy for everyone? Thus, how do we put dignity, decency and challenge back to work?

It is unacceptable when contemporary theories neglect the implications of quantum physics and near-death experiences for self-management and leadership. The microscopic and macroscopic unity of our universe is no longer a rational quest.

Based on the panoramic life-review during near-death experiences (NDEs) reported by some patients and on the descriptions of verified perception by blind people after experiencing clinical death and reanimation, scientists postulated that memories and awareness might not be localized in the brain as assumed. These patients reported clarity of consciousness from a position out and above their dead body, in which memory from early childhood occurred independently from the normal body-linked waking consciousness. These were not fragmented and random memories but they came in sequential order, heightening empathy and intuition overtime. These intense memories were within the realm of the awareness or consciousness that survived death. This ghost in near-death experiences shows how vital the free, self-conscious, and willful integrative function of the ego is to stimulating self-management, which capacitates our ability to clear our minds, stimulate empathy and intuition, realize our calling, offer good leadership, stimulate productivity, and through these, to achieve self-fulfillment and build mutual and societal trust--work-life synergy.

Connecting the psychic and physical realm of existence results in personal, transpersonal and spiritual psycho-synthesis, benefiting our inner growth, unlocking our inner wholeness and allowing the mysticism of resilience to emerge, as well as corporate psycho-synthesis and resilience, which adds meaning and joy to work, life and society. This way, we can save civilization and prevail together, proving Nostradamus wrong.
