You can change the world! Here’s How…
Start a Wow Project!
Use your Passion & Talent to make the World a little Better & yourself a lot Happier:
Wow Projects:
- Make the world a little (or a lot) better
- Make our hearts glow
- Make optimal use of our passion & talent
- Help us grow and develop ourselves
- Give us a sense of purpose and meaning
- Are not primarily aimed at money
- Make us happy
In short: a Wow Project is work as it's supposed to be
Why Wow?
Work
Work should be Wow; yet for the majority of people, it isn't. A study by Gartner shows that 87% of all employees are not satisfied with their work... People are bored, frustrated, burned out and often deeply unhappy.
World
The world should be Wow, yet for the majority of people it isn’t. Hunger, disease, pollution, repression are but a few of the problems millions of people experience everyday. And now even the world itself is under serious threat.
Companies
Companies face ever-growing problems in recruiting and binding the best people. Classic incentives (salary, corner offices, company cars) are no longer enough when the work itself is devoid of purpose and meaning (not Wow).
Wow
The Wow Project is meant to help with a simple but powerful approach: start a Wow Project to make the world a little better and find passion, purpose and meaning doing work you love.

The Gap:
We think there is a gap in our lives that is preventing us from living happy, meaningful, and fulfilling lives.

At 5, we are all heroes-in-the-making. We have big dreams for our future: joining the Thunderbirds, becoming a famous inventor, turning into Superman... (those were my dreams at 5)

How did this happen?
As a child we have big dreams, when we grow up we settle into someone else’s definition of life. How come? The short answer: You got brainwashed.
