Author: [[Samantha Garcia, Martha Johnston, and Simone Seol]] Full Title: Regenerative Business Category: #books As I read all the way through, it felt like my spirit was receiving a rich shower of life-giving rain after many, many years of drought. And you might soon be feeling that way, too. Many people in the business world feel that something has gone very wrong. Exhaustion, hustle, and loneliness are epidemics amongst entrepreneurs. I have seen countless peers struggle to make a viable living with their passions and gifts. Even those who do don’t necessarily feel like they’re living the promised fantasy of a life of freedom and abundance. In fact, many instead feel trapped by the very businesses they built to escape the confines of corporate life. And they are not sure where to begin to fix it. And the more they try, the more they feel caught in the endless cycle of personal development consumerism, where they come out the other end with lighter wallets, but not a lighter spirit. The truth is, we have lost our way. As a hypnotist, tarot reader and coach who turned into a marketing teacher operating a multi-7-figure online business, I found myself struggling for years to find the wisdom that would help me to avoid turning personal growth into yet another capitalistic commodity, and to build a business that functions as a responsible cornerstone of community. Sam’s central thesis is this: nature is the best guide for how we ought to conduct our businesses. But the wild, awe-inspiring, terrible fecundity, diversity, and beauty of nature that humbles us, teaches us, and endlessly nourishes—that is, as long as we are willing to respect it as our home. How can human intelligence and ingenuity operate in harmony with the rhythms and order of nature in order to sustain our needs in an increasingly complex society? A regenerative business is one that allows us to make our mark on the world without having to “fix” anything about our messy and dark human nature because, after all, nature, too, contains messes and darkness. And the spiritual insights revealed along the way are accompanied by simple, tangible, and actionable steps you can take to change your life, business, and the Earth today. Regenerative Business is a balm to the spirit, as much as it is a revolutionary call to action. And that, together, is a truly rare thing. Introduction
