Life—personally and professionally—is lived to the fullest as a mosaic, encompassing a rich and complex set of diverse experiences that provide purpose, meaning, happiness, and success.
Yet, the pressures of modern society push us toward narrower focus and deeper specialization in our lives and careers. Our pursuit of specific expertise risks us becoming isolated from those different from us; our lack of shared experience fosters suspicion and conflict. Today we have businesspeople and government officials who persistently distrust and demonize each other; a fortunate swath of society with professional and financial security, increasingly isolated from those left behind; and community leaders who struggle to relate to and connect with the communities they serve. In every walk of life we have allowed ourselves to be pushed into self-defining cocoons from which it is difficult to break out.
Nick Lovegrove's compelling vision provides the way out of this contemporary trap. He supplies vivid portraits of those who get it right (such as Paul Farmer, the physician whose broad and imaginative choices bring health and hope to the world's poorest people) and those who get it deeply wrong (such as Jeffrey Skilling, the former CEO of Enron) and connects their experiences with a blueprint of six skills—a moral compass, transferrable skills, contextual intelligence, prepared mind, intellectual thread, and extended network. The Mosaic Principle will help you to succeed in an ever-changing, more complex, and diverse world, and build a more remarkable and fulfilling life.

Review
“Lovegrove compellingly draws on examples from his own careers to illustrate the benefits and pitfalls of each skill area, and he bolsters his narrative with anecdotes about other successful people in a variety of disciplines. Lovegrove balances his book neatly between the nuts-and-bolts approach to being successful and the more philosophical sense of understanding yourself first before seeking to change the world for others.” —Kirkus Reviews
"Lovegrove, U.S. managing partner for the corporate consulting firm Brunswick Group, delivers a thoughtful plea for breadth of experience and learning over intense specialization. Lovegrove uses the titular mosaic as a metaphor for both society and individuals, explaining that a focus on highly specialized knowledge is damaging to both people's inner selves and their careers. He believes that, as a society, the U.S. needs to refocus on diversifying professional development and training—the approach of a liberal arts education, rather than of a trade school. He argues that specialists can get hamstrung by a lack of broad information and experience, and provides positive stories of those who've succeeded at achieving breadth, including Paul Farmer, U.N. special envoy to Haiti, and David Hayes, U.S. deputy secretary of the interior. Addressing readers at every stage of their careers, Lovegrove explains that having diverse knowledge and interests can help to 'overcome your external constraints and internal doubts.' All readers looking to break out of an intellectual box of their own making will find a refreshing new viewpoint on their personal and professional lives in this convincing manifesto." —Publishers Weekly

Balance Life and Career by Long Term Planning of Both Life and Career and Focus on Goals and Outcomes
By Stewart Paulson
The Mosaic Principle provides six guides to successful life and career. Central to the authors theme is to be true to your early life in deciding what is it that you realistically want to do. This may involve a broad base of education, reading and experience in a number of disciplines. You may find it useful in the long run to solve problems through analogous thinking from a broad generalized and diverse background and adapt more more readily to paradigm shifts or new work unique in its environmental demands. Instead of relying on early sprecialization, it often pays to take the risks of job varation even though it may mean a lower wage for a while, during the time of learning a new field. A generalized education focused on the attributes of generlized education, broadening of experience in the job market, making contacts and focusing on transferable skills are often useful to providing growth and the ultimate skills in leadership accomplishments and teamwork. The nature of contacts most valuable to one in career advancement is discussed. The benefits of non profit and voluntary work is presented with the comment that often high level jobs are more available when compared to private sector competitions .One can gain adminstrative skill that are transferable to future jobs and volunteer work is looked upon as community involvement which is always appreciated. During the process of building a strong base of transferable skills comes the experience of communication which is very often very valuable in leadership.The Mosaic is very readable, and will appeal to any age as it deals with young seeking career development and retired people looking for meaningful post career activities and a new meaning. It is an ideal book for those becoming specialists early and losing adaptability as a result, particlarly those that become technically competent at the expense of other intelligences. That is not to say there is not value in depth knowledge of a subject ,as long as it is useful and not restricting. One may choose to balance specialized in depth knowledge with broad based awareness. The potential value of music and visual arts exists for mind development and communication skills and where valuable contacts can be made. Many very successful individuals are associated with these two forms of art. It is surprising the number of successful people who end up leading teams or in admistrative functions in advanced leadership roles from economic advisors to policy formation to scientifc technology.

By Amazon Customer
I think the book is really good if you are operating in Business and want to boost your career somehow. It is definitely kindo of a new Approach but it is written really boring and I don't quite get it. I wanted to inform myself about the global jobmarket what I hae got was an accumulation of biographies and redundant Details. On the one Hand you can summarize the whole Content of the "mosaic principle" in two pages on the other Hand I don't get what's the main message is. But I don't want to Sound condescending, most probably I just haven't read properly, for somebody who is still a beginner in the englisch language and who doesn't know anything about the political structures and circumstances of the US, England and CANADIA respectively, it was definitely too dificult to understand. So if you want to buy the book make sure you have Basic understanding about economy and politics otherwise you'll be clueless.

“Do I contradict myself? Very well then, I contradict myself. I am large. I contain multitudes.” Walt Whitman
By Robert Morris
I was reminded of Whitman’s observation as I began to read this book in which Nick Lovegrove engages his reader in an extended exploration of what the potentialities are in six dimensions of a remarkable life and career. As he explains, each of us really does have a choice: increase the breadth or increase the depth of our lives. “In today’s world, there are intensifying pressures on us to choose depth [i.e. specialization], because the world is increasingly obsessed with the power of narrow specialist expertise” and if we resist that siren call of greater specialization, “if at least sometimes we move in the direction of breadth, and diversity, and life outside the comfort zone, then we open up all sorts of possibilities.”
With regard to the word “mosaic,” its original meaning was “belonging to the Muses” and that seems to imply what Lovegrove views as a multifaceted unity. “This book defines the mosaic [the metaphor] as an organizing concept not just for society but for each of us as individuals. The essence of the Mosaic Principle is that we can each build a remarkable life and career of eclectic breadth and diversity — rather like assembling small pieces of material and placing them together to create a unified whole. When we follow this principle, we too can experience the pleasure and fulfillment of a full, well-rounded adaptable life.”
So, what’s the problem with highly developed specialization? “We are starting to pay a heavy price for this obsession — individually and as a society. More and more people with a broad range of intrinsic capabilities and interests are living relatively narrow lives — because that is what is what they think, and what they are told, it will take them to achieve professional success and personal fulfillment. And more and more aspects of our society are being undermined and damaged by this narrow and limiting focus, and by the adverse consequences of an over reliance on deep specialists.”
These are among the several dozen passages of greatest interest and value to me, also listed to suggest the scope of Lovegrove’s coverage:
o Dr. Paul Farmer (Pages 9-12, 69-70, and 80-81)
o Transferable Skills (26-27 and 137-153)
o Prepared Minds (28-29 and 227-259)
o Financial Crisis of 2008 (36-41, 44-45, and 116-117)
o Moral complexity (69-72)
o David Hayes (104-113)
o BBC (135-137)
o Future business leaders (142-150)
o Iraq (153-157)
o Contexts (175-182)
o Adapting to new contexts (185-189)
o Networks (198-226)
o Broader teams (210-214)
o Broadening career options (214-221)
o Careers (263-271)
o Foley Center for the Study of Lives (278-281)
o Arnold Bennett (285-288)
In the Epilogue, Longlove concludes his explanation of how he thinks people can – and should – seek both professional success [begin italics] and [end italics] personal fulfillment. Whitman’s observation quoted earlier is a useful reminder (for those who need one) that people tend to be far more complicated and – yes, at times contradictory – than we seem willing to concede. That said, professional success and personal fulfillment are not and should not be viewed as mutually-exclusive. Development of each involves a process, one of rigorous preparation and another of bold exploration.
As I concluded my first reading of this book, I was again reminded of what I had learned while reading another book, How to Live: Or A Life of Montaigne in One Question and Twenty Attempts at an Answer. So much of what Sarah Bakewell shares about Montaigne’s values tracks with many of Nick Longlove’s insights as well as with observations he cites from a variety of other sources, notably Arnold Bennett.
Although the metaphor has become a cliché, each life really is a journey...one of personal discovery. My hope is that the material in this book will help those who absorb and digest it to become more venturesome in their own exploration of possibilities and potentialities.
In this context, I am again reminded of this passage in T.S. Eliot’s classic work, Four Quartets: "We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time."
