Rebuild (Mary Portas) visual synopsis by Dani Saveker
This book was gifted to Dani - but was on our radar mainly because of the subheading: How to Thrive in a Kindness Economy.
Anyone familiar with Mary Portas will know that she is a retail expert. This book wonderfully shares Mary’s change of position on consumerism and how we - as a society and within our communities - need to do better. The book highlights the opportunities that were presented by the world dealing with the Covid19 pandemic.
It is a business focused book - but also, and perhaps far more importantly, it is a human book. At the end of each chapter, Mary provides a “to do” - or “to think” or something to discuss and process. While it is a very simple book it is part of an increasing wave of thought leadership around the importance of moving from quick fix and short term mindsets to ones of meaning and purpose - whether we are considering individuals or businesses, communities or humanity.
