I admit to having been a bit skeptical at first. I've read so many of these business and self-help books that have great covers and catchy titles that I am jaded. But with the times being what they are, and hoping to avoid laying off any more employees, hence short-changing not only our company, but our clients, I am eager to utilize any resource that I can. This title made me take notice, and upon reading "Evolve or Die" I realize there are changes that we can and must now make. I took two pages of notes in the first half of the book alone. (note: the book is broken down into two halves with the second expanding upon the authors "Seven Step Challenge.") Thank you Robin for telling it like it is, inspiring to action, and giving your readers some tools with which to work.

Having feared this would be yet another business book that was a chore to get through, I was pleasantly surprised to find that this was a page-turner! Told in charming story-telling fashion, a great concoction of sustainable business solutions coupled with social responsibility and environmental stewardship. This book truly gave some great examples of how businesses can move forward and be profitable, while keeping the golden rule that we all grew up with in mind of how to truly treat people and planet. I was able to enjoy the book, while taking a few notes as well for ideas to put into play with my own import and export business.
