Mankind needs this agent today more than ever to do the integrative work which is its nature. The moment it emerges the integration is completed. All diversity questions are resolved. As long as it does not emerge none are solved nor can they ever be solved sustainably without it. We need it today more than ever because of unprecedented diversity challenges during the course of globalization and the unprecedented challenges and antagonisms that come with it. It is the only solution to intercultural hate. And it is because of this hate that we need it and first and foremost because it is the only power in the world that can heal it. Neither science nor technology nor psychology nor philosophy nor in particular intercultural research can provide sustainable solutions, beyond the analysis of the situation from a far too relative and limited vantage point of the mental, psychological approaches alone.

Objective & Topics
The primary objective of this work is to explore the transformative power of love and creative altruism as foundational principles for global management and interpersonal relations.

- The role of altruism as a creative force in global business

- The integration of timeless human values in management and society
- Love as a practical, pragmatic catalyst for sustainable development

Extract from the Book
LOVE IS ALL
What does business have to do with love and altruism? Isn’t that sentimentalism or pseudo-religious unrealism? Isn’t it about the one and only thing which is called profit by any means, corruption, exploitation, colonization and intercultural expertise to get the best from people from other cultures? Is it not the domain of poetry and romanticism?
But if love moves individuals, groups and nations to sacrifice themselves in order to honour what they love, it is a truly gigantic force which should not be ignored in the relational area of life in particular. Yes, you may say, it is all very wonderful, but how do you obtain the magic power of love, what’s the price? Or how can you create, cultivate and access it for practical use?
If there is no love, do what you will it only creates more misery. Those are roughly the words which have been spoken by a wise man. The preaching of churches, mosques, temples and synagogues, the philosophies, culture gurus, everything that is taught in schools, academies and universities therefore seems utterly meaningless if it lacks that fundamental value of values and is bound to become counterproductive individually and socially over time. No value can have any worth unless it is based on love. Without it no solution in any area of life can be truly and lastingly satisfactory. On the contrary the issue will resurface in new ways until it is dealt with in the light of that love which underpins existence itself. Apart from it nothing can be achieved, because no sustainable solution can reached. And man has to turn in circles for years, centuries and millennia until he discovers this secret of secrets, which can liberate him. All measures are non-measures.
