PositiveThe Washington Post...not a hagiography lauding the careers of these \'enlightened capitalists\' ... but a cautionary look at how so many of their sustainable practices were cut short ... At a time when more and more consumers expect business to benefit the greater good, the book is timely. It asks big questions like whether socially virtuous business tactics are actually compatible with shareholder capitalism, and, as he writes in the preface, what may matter most: Whether in the \'collective judgment of corporate executives,\' executives actually \'believe it is possible—or sensible—to try to do good as they seek to do well.\'

MixedThe Washington PostLyons' book is entertaining and funny, and offers a rare inside look at the kind of frat-house and cult-like cultures that populate parts of the tech world, as well as raising important questions about age bias and the social contract in the workplace today. But at times, its tone can also be a bit condescending and self-absorbed.
