Histoire
Patagonia, named by Fortune in 2007 as the coolest company on the planet, has earned a reputation as much for its ground-breaking environmental and social practices as for the quality of its clothes. In this exceptionally frank account, Chouinard and Stanley recount how the company and its culture gained the confidence, by step and misstep, to make its work progressively more responsible, and to ultimately share its discoveries with companies as large as Wal-Mart or as small as the corner bakery.

Histoire
At the beginning of his memoir Life Lived Wild: Adventures at the Edge of the Map, Rick Ridgeway tells us that if you add up all his many expeditions, he’s spent over five years of his life sleeping in tents: “And most of that in small tents pitched in the world’s most remote regions.” It’s not a boast so much as an explanation. Whether at elevation or raising a family back at sea level, those years taught him, he writes, “to distinguish matters of consequence from matters of inconsequence.” He leaves it to his listeners to do the final sort of which is which.

What does it take to be one of the world's best high-altitude mountain climbers? A lot of fundraising; traveling in some of the world's most dangerous countries; enduring cold bivouacs, searing lungs, and a cloudy mind when you can least afford one. It means learning the hard lessons the mountains teach. Steve House built his reputation on ascents throughout the Alps, Canada, Alaska, the Karakoram, and the Himalaya that have expanded possibilities of style, speed, and difficulty.

A gem of a book...
If you know about Patagonia and Yvon Chouinard and know what he and his company are about, then you can guess what this book will sound like. Yes, you are right. This book is a masterpiece that conveys the simplicity and clarity of Mr. Chouinard's vision with his love for craftmanship and good business. The result is Patagonia, a successful company that does not want its clients to purchase more than what they need, yet it continues to grow and then turns around and gives tons of its profits to environmental causes. Amidst this extraordinary story, the book talks about the company's philosophies, so you will enjoy an inspiring book that is also instructive in business. Enjoy it!

Has Changed the Way I Buy Clothes
Yvon Chouinard has an inspiring story to tell and he has changed the way I buy clothes. He is a wonderful antidote to the cynical sell-outs we have become accustomed to hearing about (the days of google's early motto of "don't be evil"are clearly long gone). While his storytelling is sometimes a little repetitive, it is made up for by his candour about the clothing industry and his unwavering commitment to do the right thing.
