Our greatest need is to be recognized—to be seen, loved, and embedded in rich relationships with those around us. But for the last century, we’ve displaced that need with the ease of technology. We’ve dreamed of mastery without relationship (what the premodern world called magic) and abundance without dependence (what Jesus called Mammon). Yet even before a pandemic disrupted that quest, we felt threatened and strangely out of place: lonely, anxious, bored amid endless options, oddly disconnected amid infinite connections.

Thought provoking call to a fuller life.
Revisado: 04-23-22
Thought provoking look at the effects of technology on our daily lives and a call to fundamentally rethink not only how we interact with that technology, but how we interact with others in society. The book does not lay blame for the disconnectedness of our society at technology’s feet. Rather, it argues that a larger force, Mammon, is at work in our modern age that aims to replace the relational with the transactional.
The solution is to rethink the purpose of technology in our lives. Technology should function only as an instrument to assist in the expression of our heart, soul, mind, and strength. Technologies that promise to replace those expressions have negative long-term consequences individually and for society.
Other themes include a call to intentionally engage in relationships and community, caring for those that cannot care for themselves, and understanding our place in the long arc of history.
As an engineer engaged in applying technology in manufacturing (automation), I found this book to be particularly worth the read.

Whole Foods Market cofounder John Mackey and professor and Conscious Capitalism, Inc. cofounder Raj Sisodia argue for the inherent good of both business and capitalism. Featuring some of today's best-known and most-successful companies, they illustrate how these two forces can - and do - work most powerfully to create value for all stakeholders, including customers, employees, suppliers, investors, society, and the environment.

Interesting approach to capitalism
Revisado: 03-27-15
This is a great appeal for businesses to be conscious of the affect they have on the lives of their employees, suppliers, customers, and their families. It encourages long term thinking and emphasis on adding value to society as a whole. The book does not advocate for corporate versions of socialism, and it does not lose sight of the need to make a profit.
My only criticism of the book is going a bit too far, in my opinion, with pleas for "love" in the workplace. I think I get his point, but I think the use of that term clouds the issue in misconception.
I highly recommend this book for business owners and those who think business owners are evil. Enacted responsibly, capitalism is good for all of us.
