Book Review: “Take it Personally”

Hey there, my fellow Utopians.  Today, I want to share an important book with you  – “Take it Personally” by Anita Roddick (of the Body Shop Fame). I first read this book in 1999 and changed the way I see the world. 

In “Take it Personally,” Anita, the founder of The Body Shop, spills the beans on her life’s work and the amazing journey of building a business with a purpose. Prepare to be inspired as she shares her fearless approach to challenging the norms and making a positive impact.

First off, let me tell you, Anita’s writing style is like chatting with your best friend over a cup of coffee. It’s warm, engaging, and oh-so-relatable. You’ll feel like you’re on a personal journey with her, learning about her life, passion, and the world of business.

Anita’s energy is infectious! She’s not just about making money – she’s all about making a difference. Get ready to join her on a mission to change the world for the better. 

What I love most about this book is how Anita encourages us to be unapologetically ourselves and take charge of our lives. She urges us to embrace our uniqueness and use it to create a better world. It’s like a pep talk for your soul, boosting your confidence and igniting that fire within.

Oh, and let’s not forget the stories! Anita’s anecdotes are pure gold. From her early struggles as an entrepreneur to her triumphs in breaking boundaries and advocating for social and environmental causes, you’ll be hanging onto every word.

But hey, don’t think this is just a business book – it’s so much more. It’s a testament to the power of perseverance, compassion, and the belief that one person can make a difference.

So, whether you’re an aspiring entrepreneur, a changemaker, or just someone looking for some serious inspiration, “Take it Personally” is a must-read.

Anita Roddick’s wise words will leave you feeling empowered, ready to take on the world, and, most importantly, to take it personally.
