Blaine Bartlett: Compassionate Capitalism: A Journey to the Soul of Business
#1 International Best Seller. Compassionate Capitalism is a brilliant, provocative book that has allowed me to see the emergence of a new business paradigm. The old industrial mind-set of scarcity, zero-sum games, and profit maximization worked well for a while but it’s now destroying the human spirit and fostering the degradation of our planet. On the other hand, Compassionate Capitalism (the emerging business paradigm) outlines a wonderful blueprint for businesses in which value, passion, relationships and a new mode of leadership will allow human beings to thrive and to “feel alive” at work.

Richard Strozzi-Heckler: The Leadership Dojo: Build Your Foundation as an Exemplary Leader
Profound and practical don't often go together and with this book Richard Strozzi-Heckler has managed to accomplish this rare feat. This book is one of the best treatments I've read on a topic as old as humankind. With humor, storytelling and a grasp of leadership that is truly masterful the author "leads" the reader on a journey exploring both what it means and what it takes to be an exceptional leader. It's a journey that culminates in viewing "leader" and "leadership" in a way that shatters stereotypes and makes the art of leadership accessible to any that are required to be leaders in their lives. Highly recommended!

Daniel Quinn: Ishmael
Fascinating book that places the reader in a position to view our culture as humans through the eyes of an outsider. Free of prejudice and beliefs, the outsider's view is provacative. In reading this book you will come to question "truths" that, for many of us, are sorely in need of examination.

This is a great example of Compassionate Capitalism in pragmatic action!
If this 83-year-old billionaire is right, one of the most important lessons of business school is pretty much wrong. He’s used his philosophy to establish electronics giant Kyocera Corp. more than five decades ago, create the $64 billion phone carrier now known as KDDI Corp., and rescue Japan Airlines Co. from its 2010 bankruptcy.
