Let My People Go Surfing: The Education of a Reluctant Businessman--Including 10 More Years of Business Unusual by Yvon Chouinard

4.0

“Evil is the absence of good.”

I think that rings loud and true throughout the book, as you see companies who are positioned with all the resources and knowledge possible and yet still not committed to making a change. Their commitment, however, lies with corporate greed.

I have a huge appreciation of Yvon Chouinard for the changes that were implemented in Patagonia to truly meet its mission statement (focused on the environment and quality).

I loved the sense of raw and authentic adventure that Chouinard aspired to have within his life.

I was in awe of the misconceptions that I had on what we consider truly sustainable like “wool” or “cotton”

I think that every single Fortune 500 company leader should read this book.
