Charles Handy thought for the day on the danger of losing one's soul and greater purpose in life by being too committed to enterprise, profit, and materialism. Handy begins the article discussing Britain's commercial and economic rebound on the world's stage, and the new prestige associated with British business models. He goes on to talk about the importance of not stopping with enterprise as one runs the risk of losing their humanity if they do, and therefore losing their soul. Handy concludes by stating that riches are not inherently wrong, but only that they make life more difficult.
