To Be of Use

The Seven Seeds of Meaningful Work

About this book

As a pioneer in the sustainable business movement, Smith & Hawken co-founder Dave Smith is on a mission to inspire people everywhere to reconcile compassionate values with capitalism. To Be of Use shows that business can be a force for radical change and paints a picture of how those driven by simple core values can make the world a better place. The book is a fascinating combination of Smith's own transformation and rise in sustainable business with an inspirational manifesto of what meaningful work is and how we can find it.
