We’re at an inflection point. We can either pursue relentless growth, greater efficiency, and the bottom line in a world where these practices are running into personal, social, and planetary limits. Or we can dream bigger. And build something better, something softer, more social, more soulful, more regenerative.
Published under a Creative Commons license, this book is the result of a collaborative effort among members of the House of Beautiful Business community, specifically participants in The Great Wave festival, which in October 2020 brought together more than 2,000 people from around the world to explore new ways of doing business in a pandemic age.
The Great Wave proposes seven qualities of beautiful business when everything is in flux: Grief, Imagination, Playfulness, Fluidity, Intimacy, Surrender, and Symbiosis.
