Review of When Business Is Love
[Following is a volunteer review of "When Business Is Love" by Jan Ryde.]
Jan Ryde's When Business Is Love is an enlightening and transformative read that delves deep into the intersection of business and personal values. Ryde's unique perspective, rooted in his experiences as CEO of Hästens, a company renowned for its luxurious beds, offers readers a refreshing take on how love and compassion can drive business success.
The central theme of the book revolves around the idea that businesses can and should operate with love at their core. Ryde challenges the traditional profit-centric business model, advocating instead for a more holistic approach that values relationships, integrity, and genuine care for both employees and customers. His arguments are compelling, supported by real-life examples and personal anecdotes that bring his vision to life.
Ryde introduces readers to the Hawkins Scale, a tool to measure levels of human consciousness from shame to enlightenment. By encouraging readers to strive towards higher levels like love, joy, and peace, Ryde proposes that these states can profoundly impact personal well-being and business success. He emphasizes that operating at the level of love, characterized by the ability to love without expectation, can create a positive and productive work environment.
The book is rich with historical anecdotes, from the founder's struggles and triumphs to the company's evolution through various generations. It narrates how each generation adapted to changing times while maintaining the core values of quality and craftsmanship. Particularly touching are the stories of personal sacrifices and family dynamics that shaped the company's path.
Ryde's writing is compelling, and his message is timely and important. One of the most impressive aspects of When Business Is Love is its impeccable writing quality. There are no grammatical errors, making the reading experience smooth and enjoyable. Furthermore, there is nothing in this book that I dislike.
I would rate this book 5 out of 5 stars. Overall, When Business Is Love is a thought-provoking and inspiring read that encourages a paradigm shift in how we view and conduct business. Ryde's passion for integrating love into the business world is infectious, and his book is a valuable resource for anyone looking to build a more humane and sustainable business. Jan Ryde’s heartfelt storytelling and the remarkable history of Hästens provide useful lessons on creating a lasting impact through love and commitment to quality.
