Abstract
The aim of the master’s thesis was to research the psychological principles of success in Slovenian business and politics. I set out to explore parallels between philosophical insights in the Graeco-Roman and oriental traditions, the perspectives of contemporary science and the views of leading members of Slovenia’s business and political elite, and identify the psychological principles of success in business, politics and life that are independent of period, context and location if there exist any.
