In the midst of a global pandemic, when we are compelled to confront age-old existential inquiries such as "Why are we here? Where are we going?" perhaps for the first time, Quo Vadis? holds immense relevance for leaders, managers, and individuals seeking to infuse meaning and authenticity into their work and lives. Manfred Kets de Vries posits that addressing these fundamental and unsettling questions is essential for us to live fully and meaningfully. Too many individuals start their Mondays by engaging in the same routine they have followed every week. They commute to work, operating on autopilot without questioning their purpose. However, how can we ensure that our lives are rich and fulfilling? How can we discern if we are on the right path?
This book delves into the realms of death and the fear of death, as well as angst and absurdity. Yet, it is also about endurance, honesty, well-being, responsibility, living with hard truths, creating meaning, and ultimately achieving happiness. Quo Vadis? forces us to confront the things we would rather avoid. While it may be a brief book, it is far from bleak. Instead, Kets de Vries demonstrates that acknowledging the inevitable price we must pay for knowing our own mind and understanding our inevitable end enriches our lives and enhances our capacity to find meaning and happiness.
