About this ebook

Ari Sihvola: Landscapes of my mind - images of working life, of life. "Landscapes of my mind" refers to the images Ari Sihvola has had of working life and life in general. The book aims to reach out to people who have lived in the same decades as him and who have worked in organisational and human resource development. Similarly, Ari hopes the book will appeal to people who are examining themselves to find the key to personal growth. A key that Ari has also been trying to find. The book consists of four parts, which have little to do with each other. In fact, there is no coherent plot. The only thing that connects the parts is the author. Of course, the book can be considered a collection of essays. Admittedly, Ari has not realised that he has written essays.
