review: Editorial Reviews Review 'Climate change and gross inequality now threaten the natural world and the future of humanity. With time running out before we reach irreversible tipping points, business must take the lead in healing our world by investing in our most important assets: our natural and human capital. This book provides a compelling case for why this must happen now and more importantly it offers the practical steps to show how this can be accomplished. Highly recommended!' - Paul Polman, Former CEO Unilever 'In an imperfect world, what is the role of business? Across the globe, political leaders, corporate shareholders, and ordinary citizens are reckoning with that question. And it's one for which Sisodia and Gelb offer a provocative answer: Business can -- and should -- help heal society's ills. This smart and meaningful book will inspire you to lead your organization into a place of joy, health, and yes, profitability, that can deliver greater well-being to employees, communities, and the planet.' -Daniel H. Pink, author of WHEN and DRIVE 'In this wonderful book, Michael J. Gelb and Raj Sisodia illuminate the historical, psychological and philosophical underpinnings of contemporary capitalism to make a compelling case for reimagining the fundamental purpose of business. Business is the straight line between where we are now as a society and making the world a better place. If you want to improve the world, then please read this book and get it into the hands of every influential person you know.' - Kip Tindell, Co-Founder and Chairman of The Container Store, and Co-Chairman of Conscious Capitalism, Inc. From the Author What if there was a company whose CEO said, "Let's pay all our people as much as possible?" What if that same company showed up to help communities in distress before FEMA and the Red Cross when there was a disaster?What if your company treated your spouse, your children, and even your pets, as stakeholders, and made it a priority to ensure that you can be present for them?What if there was a company that not only reduced its environmental footprint to zero, but actually made a net positive contribution to their ecosystem?And what if these businesses, who prioritize the welfare of all their stakeholders, who help heal their employees, customers and communities, are more profitable and prosperous than their industry peers? Such businesses, and many others like them, do exist, and in this inspiring, life changing book Michael and his co-author Professor Raj Sisodia explain how your business can become a place of healing for employees and their families, a source of healing for customers, communities and ecosystems, and a force for healing in society, helping alleviate cultural, economic and political divides.
