Reviews:
“Overall, Screw Business as Usual certainly inspires but at a much deeper level – with the sense of our people and planet at the core. It starts off by being introduced to what Richard hopes to achieve from the book as well as outlining what he believes is the way forward in business – Capitalism 24,902.” - Renae Smith (read the full review)
“By the time I’d finished the foreword I was in tears. Why? Because it was as if Richard Branson had read my mind and had taken a peep at how, in my very small way, I feel about running my own business. Wonderfully I see others just like me who believe that however small their contributions, however limited their time or resources they can make a difference and they strive to do this. Like me they really believe that they can drop their penny into the pool and it will create a ripple of change.” – Jayne Cox (read the full review)
