Whole Story

Thank you for walking the walk. I believe we are undergoing a cultural/financial paradigm change that you embody. The problem is this change isn't recognized; this leaves us confused; we pretend we are not confused in order to avoid the fear of uncertainty; we blame; we get angry; our perspective gets smaller. We want what we want and we want it now. We lack personal confidence so we buy. That is not a good reason to buy. I have never heard a discussion/debate about possible paradigm change that addresses the creativity and benefits of capitalism while at the same time understanding and describing its limits. I look forward to reading your book because I hope it educates me further and dives deeper into these ideas in a non adversarial way.

Is this going to come out as an audio book?

I think this is absolutely incredible that this book is being writer. In today's society, all of our problems are being blamed on Capitalism and unfortunately we have no go to understanding of what is the alternative. Similarly, much discourse about sustainable alternatives are blurry and uncertain whether they align within today's economic framework. The reality is, capitalism is the system that has evolved from all the other that have "not worked" throughout history, but it needs tweaking. Shifting what our understanding of capitalism is and can be, is essential. When we work off the fear of scarcity, we strive to become to owner of as much capital as possible, playing 1-0...but when we realize that we all win not by exploiting one another of our resources, but rather by exponentializing our resources (energy, love, conviousness) then we are finally moving forward toward a sustainable, healthy future for EVERYONE. Thank you for this work!

I want to express my gratitude to you. First, thank you for your great Whole Foods Markets and excellent service in bringing people quality food in these times of daily assaults on the purity of our food supply. Secondly, thank you for your new book Conscious Capitalism. As someone with a high profile, you have helped shine the light on the most basic principles our beloved America was founded upon—free market enterprise and the law of supply and demand. These two principles that have made America the greatest nation in the world—opportunity for all, not legislated equality for all. You have proved it and lived it. Your wisdom and centeredness is a breath of fresh air—a good dose of reality midst all the illusion and delusion. So let the “other side” howl as much as they will, as you exercise your sacred freedom of free speech. Conscious Capitalism means to me that it is business practiced with the “cosmic honor flame,” or the Golden Rule if you prefer. Crony capitalism, monopoly capitalism, corporate/cartel capitalism, political patronage capitalism, is what the manipulators use to give capitalism a bad name. It is the corruption practiced by the “power elite” in their international capitalist/communist conspiracy, as I like to call it. All the talk of “tax the rich” and “redistribute the wealth” is nothing more than Socialism—an outmoded and failed business model. In fact, Socialism is a more primitive form of societal organization and history has shown that Socialism evolves into Capitalism as the consciousness of the people evolves to the level of the cosmic honor flame. Socialism and the other “isms” are totally foreign to America, a nation founded on timeless and universal Judeo-Christian values—Liberty with righteousness. The so-called “Progressives” are really “regressive” and they are misusing the wonderful freedoms we have been given (defined so beautifully in the Constitution of the United States and the Declaration of Independence—and fought and died for) to undermine these documents of freedom that are meant to control them and keep them in check. And the battle for America’s soul goes on…thank you for entering the fray. Never give up. Never submit. All true Americans are with you… and thanks again.
