A Useful Guide for Business Leaders To say that the main message of this book is revolutionary would be putting it mildly. In that sense, its aspirational in nature, but the author continually stresses how her vision could become a reality. Its the clarity of the language and the detail put into this plan that are so impressive. This is a book worthy of close reading that should cause a great deal of introspection in all those who happen to encounter it and to absorb its message. Steve Finkelstein, 5-star Review on Amazon
After reading this book, I feel like I have more tools to make better decisions, and I am also more motivated to share these ideas with others. I believe everyone, from everyday consumers to business leaders, can contribute to this change. 5-star review on Amazon
