Meanings that Mean Something
Posted on | June 2, 2010 | 1 Comment
I’m back from a month off to finish up the semester and even harder, prepare for the summer.
I wanted to start off again by drawing attention to an interesting book, Making Meaning: How Successful Businesses Deliver Meaningful Customer Experiences, by Steve Diller, Nathan Shedroff, and Darrel Rhea
One of the things they did was to try to identify commonalities in the types of meaning people value by interviewing people from different cultures and countries. I’ll refer you to their website but have a look through their preliminary list as well.
(in alphabetical order)
1. Accomplishment
2. Beauty
3. Community
4. Creation
5. Duty
6. Enlightenment
7. Freedom
8. Harmony
9. Justice
10. Oneness
11. Redemption
12. Security
13. Truth
14. Validation
15. Wonder
