Advance praise for Conscious Capitalism From the Foreword: Bill George, bestselling author of True North -- "This is the book I always wanted to write." Howard Schultz, chairman, president, and CEO, Starbucks-- "I have long believed that companies have a responsibility to balance profitability with a social conscience, yet few leaders have an inherent understanding of just how to do it. In Conscious Capitalism , John Mackey and Raj Sisodia provide a timely, realistic framework so companies can better serve a variety of stakeholders. I highly recommend listening to what they have to say." Herb Kelleher, former Chairman and CEO, Southwest Airlines-- " Conscious Capitalism is a welcome explication and endorsement of the virtues of free-enterprise capitalism--properly comprehended, there is no more beneficial economic system--and a simultaneously pragmatic and inspirational extolment of higher purpose and humanism in business. I hail and revere the tenets of Conscious Capitalism!" Ratan N. Tata, Chairman, Tata Sons-- "This book provides the script for a much-needed different narrative for free- enterprise capitalism. Businesses need to be driven by a purpose higher than maximizing profit, and they must ensure optimal benefits to all stakeholders. Only if that happens can capitalism deliver to all humanity the full societal benefits it is capable of." Sally Jewell, CEO, REI-- "By so clearly and thoughtfully articulating the tenets of Conscious Capitalism, Raj and John have helped me understand the power behind the sustainable success in our business, raising my consciousness in guiding REI forward to serve a new generation of outdoor enthusiasts and environmental stewards." Biz Stone, Cofounder and Creative Director, Twitter "John Mackey's journey to awakening is an inspiration not just to entrepreneurs, but to anyone who believes in a new definition of success for capitalism--one that includes positive societal impact as well as traditional business metrics.", "Mackey and Sisodia make a valiant effort to redeem a practice often tainted by greed and corruption and show that if the individuals managing the system commit to conscious capitalism, everyone benefits." -- Publishers Weekly Advance praise for Conscious Capitalism From the Foreword: Bill George, bestselling author of True North -- "This is the book I always wanted to write."

Gates, Porter and Mackey--and even Ms. Nooyi--to make capitalism better can''t be all bad. As the authors put it: "Free market capitalism is one of the most powerful ideas we humans have ever had. But we can aspire to even more. Let''s not be afraid to climb higher." -- Alan Murray, The Wall Street Journal " Conscious Capitalism is a wonderful book, full of fiery passion and incisive insights.

Doing the right thing pays, Mackey writes." - Robert Gratton, Austin Business Journal "Recommended for business owners, employees, customers, and investors." -- Library Journal "... very good, with useful insights on almost every page..." -- Marc Gunther, Sustainable Business Forum " Conscious Capitalism is a book you will want to share with every business owner, manager, and worker you know." -- Jo Ann Skousen, Liberty Advance praise for Conscious Capitalism From the Foreword: Bill George, bestselling author of True North -- "This is the book I always wanted to write."
