The most critical issues confronting Mankind in the 21st Century could be Food / Fuel / Finance, together with the numerous associated problems such as soil fertility, climate change, alternative energies, poverty and social inequity etc. Sustainability (and its purpose) is the key concept here.
However, the ultimate and fundamental question behind all these is: What constitutes Sustainability and Salutogenesis (Health and Wellbeing)? How could these be attained individually and socially that would take consideration of the local, global and even cosmic aspects? A mere Pathogenesis (as compared to Salutogenesis) approach might not solve the problems.

The Manageability / Comprehensibility / Meaningfulness will give us a Sense of Coherence (SOC) which is the source of our Health and Wellbeing or Wealth. This is the essence of the Thesis of Salutogenesis, , the term first used and promulgated by Aaron Antonovsky in 1979, in the context of alternative medicine.
4. Path to Personal & Business Enlightenment …. Individually, we might have to earn our keep by making better and more efficient use of Small Office Home Office (SOHO). We might have to produce portion of our foods by having better understanding of permaculture ( or permanent agriculture, the most famous Australian cultural export, courtesy of Bill Mollison) in particular and ecology in general, including the Sun (partly through the Solar Heliospheric Observatory, another SOHO of the second kind). Corporation-wise, managers might have to get a quick grasp of the differences amongst Hierarchy / Holarchy / Panarchy, the essence of which is better understood by studying the behavior of Holons (the universal Self-Organizing Holarchic Open system, another SOHO of the third kind). The Big Three also represents the local / global / cosmic aspects of any holistic solutions. This is equivalent to “Think Globally, Act Locally, Connect Cosmically”.
