About the author

John Highland

It’s uncommon, yet very special, to meet someone with unique, self-generated wisdom of life’s purpose. John Highland has this uniqueness and has been a source of wisdom and inspiration in my life since we knew each other and connected on a three-day road trip many years ago. As a coworker, associate, partner, and friend, I’ve had the opportunity to grow and learn from his endless stories, anecdotes, and reflections.

I would describe him as a Harvard mind with a Hindi Guru heart because he has a strange combination of McKinsey / Ivy League education combined with and ancient wisdom and philosophy. It is always an enhancing experience to discuss profound and meaningful subjects with him, not only because he has traveled all over the world and lived in many different cultures and top business environments, but because he has the curiosity and passion for life and for others. He is a unique example of how to surpass living only for personal and economic success; of why widening the scope and seeking well-being for all leads to happiness and satisfaction.
