Long-Read of the Week
Much of leading sustainability initiatives is related to motivating colleagues and society to change their behaviour. This week our recommendation is a non-sustainability book, but fantastic for understanding the human-dimension.
Alchemy, by Rory Sutherland, offers a fresh perspective on problem-solving and decision-making, challenging the dominance of logic and data in business and life. Drawing from his experience in advertising, Sutherland explores how human behaviour is often driven by emotion, perception, and irrationality rather than pure reason.
Through engaging anecdotes and clever insights, he reveals how unconventional thinking can unlock creative solutions to complex challenges. This thought-provoking read encourages us to embrace the unexpected, value intuition, and rethink the way we approach innovation and influence, making it a perfect pick for those seeking fresh approaches to drive real change.
