The CEO of Whole Foods discusses why 21st century businesses must have a vision built on love and care—instead of fear and stress.

Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, Costco, Patagonia, The Container Store. You shop there not only for the products they sell, but for their business philosophy.

In Conscious Capitalism, iconic CEO John Mackey and professor Raj Sisodia present the fundamental principles and practices of their bold new vision of conscious capitalism: businesses operating from a sense of higher purpose and prospering financially while also generating other critical forms of value—emotional, social, intellectual, ecological, financial, and spiritual. These are businesses built on love and care instead of fear and stress.

In his first visit to Live Talks Business, Mackey will tap into his decades of personal experience to explain how you can craft and make a vision for your company in order to gain a long-term competitive advantage.

Some of today’s best companies—Google, UPS, Southwest Airlines, Herman Miller, Bright Horizons, Patagonia, Panera, Starbucks, REI, Tata and others—are making this vision real. They’re not being politically correct. Rather, they understand that conscious capitalism is the ultimate path to long-term competitive advantage. They’re full-throated advocates for free markets, entrepreneurship, competition, and property rights. But they operate by a markedly different set of principles.
