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

5.0

(audio) I mean, I already wanted to wear nothing but Patagonia for the rest of my life but now I don’t know if I CAN wear anything but Patagonia for the rest of my life? I also don’t know if I can work anywhere else but of course they don’t hire just anyone so I’m doomed to a life of unfulfilled career dreams because after reading this I’m convinced all other employers are trash. A memoir by the founder of Patagonia naturally inclines you toward favoring the company but this is a MANIFESTO FOR THE WORLD. I dare you to experience this book and not change your life in meaningful ways. NOTE: I listened to the 2016 10th anniversary edition with the updated forward & epilogue, and it was eerie how much has changed in the world since 2006 & 2016, but also how perennial this book is.
