The Healing Organization is a deeply moving, inspiring, and important work. It builds the historical, philosophical, and most importantly, the human, emotional case for the next natural evolution of capitalism.

Gelb and Sisodia present BIG IDEAS in a compelling, illuminating, and engaging way. More than a business book, its a manifesto that offers hope for a new vision that can heal the divisiveness in our society.

And, as a business book it is a must read, especially for the emerging generation of entrepreneurs I serve as investor, strategic advisor, and mentor. They want to generate wealth in a way that makes a positive difference in the world. They want to live with a sense of meaning and purpose. They want to enrich the lives of all their stakeholders. The Healing Organization shows how this can be done, how it is being done and why, for the sake of humanity, it must be done, now!
