Never before in history have, we been more educated, wealthier, and lived longer with more opportunities in life. Conversely, we have never been more stressed, anxious, depressed or lonely. In One Life, the philosopher and business executive Morten Albæk investigates this paradox and the absurdity that all of the world’s impressive socio-economic advancements have not been translated into more existential wellbeing.

It is critical to understand why those of us, especially in prosperous countries with high living standards, continue to get sick, particularly due to work-related stress and poor leadership. The cure is not more ‘work-life balance’, but that we stop separating our persona into a working human being and private human being, and instead see ourselves as one human being with one life. That one life should be as meaningful as possible; it is meaning – not happiness – that is the most important basic ingredient for the sustainability of our lives, our businesses and our society.

REVIEWS

One Life hits the epicentre of what we are fighting for every single day in Joe & The Juice. Namely, to build a brand that delivers an unseen level of meaningfulness in the intersection between our people and our workplace. This is a must read for anyone who is ambitious about life.

Kaspar Basse, Founder and Executive Chairman, Joe & The Juice

Leadership is about creating ‘movement’ on two dimensions –continuously setting the right coordinates for the direction and making sure each and every employee feels a genuine meaning in what they do. Morten’s book should be read by every leader or aspiring professional.

Stine Bosse, Director of the Supervisory Board, Allianz Group and appointed as one of the most influential businesswomen in the world by the Financial Times

Morten delivers an inconvenient but extremely enlightening critique of humanity while providing optimistic answers to how we can navigate our lives, our businesses and our society towards abetter and more sustainable future. All organizations should indeed define and work for a higher purpose than just profit, so this book should be an embedded part of all leadership curricula.

Professor Flemming Besenbacher, Chairman, Carlsberg Group and the Carlsberg Foundation
