If it care about the planet. If you are curious how to live with intention and mindfulness. Give it a read. Especially wish business leaders would read this to start running conscious businesses. It all starts within.

Couldn’t get through it

Revisado: 12-26-24

Very basic, nothing new or fresh and lacks depth. Skipped through a lot of it as I wasn’t learning anything new.

Outdated

Revisado: 12-26-24

Was looking forward to reading as I love his work, but this was tough to get through. Has to skip through it. Examples are outdated and also basic business knowledge. Would recommend his other books over this one in relation to energy frequency.

A must read

Revisado: 12-15-24

I wish everyone would read this book. It offers a profound look into the lungs of the Earth—the Amazon Rainforest—through the lens of its sacred biodiversity, the Indigenous communities who call it home, and the devastating impacts of outside forces, particularly oil companies like Shell, Texaco, and others. The story of the Waorani people is one of resilience and reverence, and it deserves our deepest attention.

We protect what we love and what we feel connected to. Nemonte Nenquimo protects her forest as fiercely as a jaguar protects its cubs. What struck me most is that this isn’t a story of the past—it’s the story of today, and a warning for the future if we fail to act. It’s a testament to the power of hope, resilience, and loving action to break through the most challenging circumstances, big money, and legal barriers.

As outsiders, we must offer tools, information, resources, and questions that empower—rather than impose solutions. Colonialism is not just a relic of history; it is a present reality in many parts of the world. We have an obligation not to repeat history.

Oil companies destroy lives for profit, and as consumerism grows, we need to ask: 💡 What alternatives can we create that don’t harm some for the benefit of others? What use is wealth on a broken planet? Every company today can ask themselves these questions.

Lives are sacred. Homes are sacred. Governments and corporations have no right to seize Indigenous lands. Women are sacred, too, and a force— our loving leadership has the power to move mountains. Nemonte Nenquimo is living proof.

Nemonte Nenquimo and Mitch Anderson have beautifully written this book. I encourage you to read it to learn about the realities faced by those in the Amazon, how their struggles connect to your future, and the need for courageous leadership to foster change in the oil and gas industry. It’s also a reminder of the sacred wisdom we all lose when Indigenous lives are taken.

I’ve read this book over 7 times in my life and continue to get new insights each time. A beautiful story for the soul and to remind us we each have a purpose for being. Never give up on your dreams.

A book you can reread each year and reconnect with your WHY and life vision. If you are feeling lost, a book to help you find ground again.

A read for every woman

Revisado: 04-24-24

The more we share our story, our power, our frustrations, our wounds, the more we can inspire collective action. Thank you V for always speaking your truth and giving us the courage to do the same.
