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!

A gem of a book...

Le livre couvre plusieurs aspects et malgré mes attentes élevées, je n’ai pas été déçue. L’auteur parle autant des décisions clés que des limites aux bonnes actions.

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.
