5.0 out of 5 stars This book helped me succeed in starting my own business, 8 Jul 1999

By A Customer

This book was written by someone who really built a business from the ground up. Mr. Hawken gives some great advice and makes it seem like anyone can succeed in business if they treat people right. This book was one of the first business books I read eight years ago while planning my business and I still consider it one of the best.

Mr. Hawken - if you read this, Thank You for a great book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Enlightened yet practical business philosophy, 4 Mar 1999

By A Customer

This book was required reading for one of my classes at the MBA program of the University of Oregon back in 1990. I have recommended it countless times to friends who run their own business. If you lend it your run the risk of not getting it back

5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful, inspiring, useful, 26 Oct 1998

By A Customer

I started my business in 1988 and no advice I received was a valuable at Paul Hawken's. He helps you to see a business from 10,000 feet as well as from just inches below the surface: in your heart, where ultimately your business must succeed.

I recommend this book to everyone, but have ceased lending my copy out-two have disappeared. Today, my business is an enormous success-indeed, a somewhat famous one-and no one deserves more credit than Mr. Hawken, for the advice and inspiration of this lucid and engaging book.

To every small business owner: buy it today, read tonight, and see if it doesn't change things immediately.
