Chapter Chapter 7 in Zero Distance, 2022, pp 83-87 from Springer Abstract: Abstract Knowing our origins & our role lays the foundations both for our sense of identity and our sense of having some purpose. Both are huge problems for individuals and societies at the present time, and I believe they also bear on the many of the big challenges facing business: what is business for? what role does business play in society and the global order? what are the responsibilities of business? how can it get the best out of its employees’ potential? This chapter outlines the personal history of each of us, from our cosmic origins at the moment of the Big Bang 14 billion years ago, through our biological origins in the evolutionary history of all life on this planet & then the more immediate genetic inheritance from our ancestors, the cultural origins of our thinking, assumptions & values, and then our most personal origins in our own life experiences and relationships. Grounding each of these stages of our personal history in the latest science, and illustrating how each of us is influenced in our everyday actions and decisions by the fact that we carry all of this history within us (each of us is 14 billion years old!), gives us a full background for understanding who we are, what challenges we face, & how we can get the best out of ourselves.
