by Jess Rimington (Author), Joanna Levitt Cea (Author)
Finalist for the Porchlight Business Book of the Year
***** Let's create an economy for everyone. Based on extensive research with organizations and companies that are boldly breaking out of business as usual, Beloved Economies offer readers an imagination-expanding vision of what work could be. Authors Rimington and Cea explore possibilities for how we work, learning with more than sixty people from a wide array of enterprises. What these groups have in common is that they are generating forms of success that audaciously prioritize well-being, meaning, connection and resilience―alongside conventional metrics like quality and financial success. Beloved Economies offers readers seven specific practices as a springboard for changing how we work. As the book reveals, it's not only what we do, but how we do it that can be a powerful lever to move us into economies that all of us can love.Author Biography
