II- KAMRAN MOFID’s GUEST’s BLOG: Here on The Guest Blog you’ll find commentary, analysis, insight and at times provocation from some of the world’s influential and spiritual thought leaders as they weigh in on critical questions about the state of the world, the emerging societal issues, the dominant socio-economic logic, globalisation, money, markets, sustainability, dialogue, cooperation, environment, media, spirituality, faith, culture, the youth, the purpose of business and economic life, the crucial role of leadership, and the challenges facing economic, business, management, education, and more.

“Where education was meant to open many kinds of doors, it now is focused on opening only one door: the door that leads to money. As we have expanded the group entitled to an education, we have shrunk the goals of education.”

In early 2011 I posted a Blog Why Happiness Should be Taught at Our Universities where I highlighted the need for academic institutions to consider teaching modules on the art of happiness, on how to lead a good, worthwhile and enriching life. I then followed this by many other Blogs, such as the ones noted below, addressing the different aspects of the same subject, life’s bigger picture and profound questions, whilst showing how financial considerations alone are impacting education provision in today’s world.
