From mystics, saints, revolutionaries, activists, and marketers (!). Here are seven people and seven questions to ponder often, trying to get at the core of what it means to live an examined life in service of something greater than ourselves:

Simone Weil: "How do I experience profound transcendence in my daily life?"
Alexander Grothendieck: "Are we going to continue scientific research?"
Alberto Hurtado: "How to contribute to society from the University?"
Raimon Panikkar: "How to help build the next millennium of tradition?"
Stephen Jenkinson: "How to live remembering that I am mortal?"
Seth Godin: "How to be of service to a community?"
Silvia Rivera Cusicanqui: "How to overcome a dependence on North Atlantic culture?"
