READ

Who has the time? These are some of my influences and helpful reads:

Let My People go Surfing from the founder of Patagonia. An insightful commentary on what principled planet-focused leadership really means.

Reinventing Organisations by Frederic Laloulx. A radical rethink on how to organise a business :https://www.reinventingorganizations.com/

Stolen Focus by Johann Hari will likely disturb you, and give you some perspective on your ability to concentrate.  https://stolenfocusbook.com/

The Sibling Society by Robert Bly Overlooked in its time but way ahead of it's day. A call to 'grow up' and take responsibility.

Land Healer by Jake Fiennes I like most of the raft of 'regenerative faming' books coming out as he strikes a conscious balance between nature, profit and food-production.

Wounded Leaders by Nick Duffell is an insightful take on the psychological profile of the UK's elite in an increasingly complex and interdependent world. https://woundedleaders.co.uk/

Human Kind by Rutger Bregman debunks popular theories of self interested economically rational humans positing instead that kindness and generosity is our true nature. A truly hopeful read. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/52879286-humankind

The Climate Book by Greta Thunberg. Full of data and expert articles, perfect for dipping,
