Alemany, Ricard 1 As I finished my first year of the MBA, one of my mentor’s advice was to read. Used to reading case studies, the question really was “what books should I read?”. After two years at IESE, and experiencing first hand the breadth and depth of knowledge shared from IESE Faculty, I thought the most valuable advice on what to read was right in front of me. How could I continue to learn from professors beyond the classroom, once the MBA path comes to an end. I thought a reading list from IESE Faculty could serve not just me, but my whole class and perhaps future IESE graduates, as a guide to continue learning. Therefore, I asked professors for book recommendations that would inspire and guide us in our future endeavors. The document that follows is the result of it. I hope you find this document insightful and useful. I would like to thank all the participating professors for their recommendations and participation in the project and for sharing their knowledge not only in class, but also beyond it. Additionally, I am grateful for the help and patience of Eduardo Pérez (IESE MBA 2019), the creative genius, who has given shape of the document that I here present to you. Antonio Recio Sanromán. " Our brain is like our body: it needs exercise. If you don’t read at least one good book every month, you will lose most of the good intellectual and analytical shape you got during the MBA reading every day case after case… So, don’t stop reading. Never." Professor Antonino Vaccaro.

    Work, Wisdom, and Happiness BSPA-GB 3110.30 Mondays 6-9 pm beginning 2/11/19, room tba BELOW IS THE SYLLABUS FROM 2018. THE SPRING 2019 COURSE WILL BE SIMILAR. THE MAIN READING IS CAROLINE WEBB’S BOOK Professor: Jonathan Haidt, [email protected], Office hours: Mondays after class; Thursdays 4-6 in KMC 7-98 Course Overview: For centuries, work was regarded as nothing but toil— a requirement for earning one's daily bread. But in recent decades, expectations about work have been transformed, as has its very nature. While it still provides one’s daily bread, it is also regarded as a major opportunity for people to find purpose, meaning, and happiness in their lives. In this course we'll study the latest research on what makes people happy at work, on how happiness at work improves the quality of work, and on what makes a career not just successful but meaningful. We will also discuss some of the impediments—both individual and organizational—to doing meaningful and satisfying work. Students will develop their own visions of their ideal career, and of the ideal company they’d like to lead or work for. They will also begin making changes to their daily lives, to improve their chances of success and happiness. Course Requirements: 1) 35% of the grade will be based on your class participation, which is not just the quantity of your comments but the nature of your engagement with the class. 2) 20% will be based on 4 one-page integration papers that you’ll submit by 10 am on the day of each class.

    3/5/2020 Searching for Happiness On an Elephant's Back | Humanum Review Humanum Issues in Family, Culture & Science Issue 4 Searching for Happiness On an Elephant's Back COLET C. BOSTICK Haidt, Jonathan, The Happiness Hypothesis: Finding Modern Truth in Ancient Wisdom (Basic Books, 2006). In the beginning of The Everlasting Man, G.K. Chesterton proposes that “there are two ways of getting home; and one of them is to stay there. The other is to walk round the whole world till we come back to the same place.” At the end of The Happiness Hypothesis: Finding Modern Truth in Ancient Wisdom, Jonathan Haidt concludes that “we can choose directions in life that will lead to satisfaction, happiness, and a sense of meaning [but] we can’t simply select a destination and walk there directly.” The juxtaposition of these two images of the search for happiness as a journey lays bare a fundamental question for reflective people in the 21st century: If it’s “not the destination, but the journey” that gives one a sense of purpose, does one need a destination at all? Chesterton and the Western Tradition assert that life’s journey is a quest, but, for moderns like Haidt, life is at best a walkabout in the wilderness. Jonathan Haidt is a social psychologist specializing in the field of positive psychology, the study of behaviors and conditions that lead to human flourishing. The Happiness Hypothesis was written in 2006, while Haidt was a professor at the University of Virginia trying to compress the entire discipline of psychology into a four-month semester.
