I just watched this video on myth and business from Devdutt Pattanaik from a talk that he did for TED. It is one of the most powerful examples of how myth forms world view and how businesses can use myth and belief to succeed. I believe you'll find it one of the best 20 minutes you've spend online with video in a very long time.
Where are you matching mythologies in your business with your customer?
One of the characters he introduces is the Gymnosophist, most will have not heard of this before so I've included an easy link so that after you watch the video you can learn more.
