Each book is a research mine of data and factual stories and success principles
as well as the most important asset, comment sense and environmental foundations that are for the right reason using the right technology and principles.
Principles sums up the ethics and the actual commitments that Chouinard and his teams (plural) have co created which in turn have beneficial repercussions in the ecology and economy and our future planet and sustainable lifestyle..
I am best friends with many of Yvon's best friends here in Hawaii and I see in the amm this faith that what we do has a definite impact on society in the long tern and increasingly on the environment and business evolution in the short and long term
We don't have an option to choose any other path than commitment to a multi platformed diversity of comprehensive solutions which are sustainable and economically viable
I would love to see all of Yvon's books make it to audio format.
Bravo Master!

Among the best books of founders

The book starts by talking about how Patagonia got its start as well as how it operates. It’s clear that the company’s values are super solid — they've remained private all these years simply so they can focus on their mission of saving the planet (rather than focusing on the bottom line).
In the second half of the book, the author turns toward climate change and how consumerism runs in direct conflict with it. As he states, when we treat our possessions as if they can easily be discarded, it’s not long before we look at the earth in the same fashion.
Thus, much of the second half of the book features explanations on how to cut one’s carbon footprint and live in a way that's more conscious / that promotes the health of the planet. The author really calls out other companies and consumers here, saying that we need to start putting our money where our mouths are. We need to analyze where everything we buy comes from and cut out the products that are most hazardous to our planet.
Of course, the subject of climate change is a scary one, so any book that focuses on it can become something of a frightening read. Here, however, I think the author toes the line between calls for action and hysteria nicely. After reading, it’s hard to not feel called to action.
I really admire Chouinard both for this work and how he runs his company. Moreover, I recommend that just about everyone pick up this book.
