Not yet finished the book but have been impressed with the stories that go along with their point of view. As Whole Foods is now owned by Amazon many of the stories will no longer be relevant. It will be interesting to watch and learn how Amazon changes or doesn't change the culture of Whole Foods.

Definitvamente si tienes la duda de como genersr mas impacto desde tu posicion en una empresa es un buen libro. Si no te interesa esto, no pasaras del primer capitulo. Es una excelente guía de liderazgo. Aunque habla sobre la estrategia de un negocio consiente, el mayor valor esta en las recomendaciones para los managers que buscan un propósito en su día a día.

This book is very interesting approach of a new economic logic. As it says it is a new paradigm, which differs clearly from FRIEDMAN's approach.
It shows how this new stakeholders approach functions as a real win-win logic.
Excellent and forward looking book

Whole Foods CEO Mackey and Co-Founder of Conscious Capitalism Sisodia teamed to write a book that should be read by every working American, no matter where they are on the wage scale or organization chart.
As I turned the first page, I was a little hesitant for two reasons. First, Whole Foods and Mackey have been portrayed as a "hippie" culture. I expected a lot of esoteric drivel that has little to do with the world of business. Mackey does mention Holotropic Breathwork, usually associated with psychedelic psychotherapy, but he doesn't drift far enough afield to lose me. Also, he does posit excellent advice in that realm that all of us can use. Second, I knew he was caught posting anonymously on Yahoo message boards criticizing a competitor. Anonymous posting is almost unforgivable until you find out that almost all such postings are anonymous.
Unless you are a stockholder or customer, you may learn more about Whole Foods than you ever want to know, but along the way, you will learn a lot of valuable insights or have your own solid beliefs confirmed in a real-world company. The best thing about this book is that it focuses attention on business and...

I have had direct experience with hundreds of large companies in my career as an executive, academic and journalist. Quite a few have toxic work environments and I have thought deeply about how we can change this so that persons get up on Monday morning energized rather than dreading the week to come.
John Mackey and Raj Sisodia have also thought deeply about this and have articulated a coherent philosophy of what the problems are with the current structure of business, how to go about transforming it and giving lots of examples of companies. A caveat: not all companies are good at all parts of what they advocate. So when they cite an example, evaluate that company only on the characteristic they are discussing.
I found myself nodding in agreement many times as I read the book because it articulated what I deeply believe. First, business is a noble enterprise, even a heroic one. It makes life easier for every one because of new products and services offered. It lifts entire populations out of grinding poverty and channels human creativity and energy into productive avenues. True, there are downsides as many thoughtful critics of global capitalism...
