The Case for Love as a Hard-Core Business Principle

Steve Farber

Psychologists tell us that all emotions, decisions, and actions are rooted in one of the two basic human motives: love or fear. Love gives rise to things like generosity, respect, joy, patience, honor, understanding, honesty, growth, and abundance; fear creates greed, selfishness, deception, bitterness, and stagnation. Choosing love, then, is not something that should be restricted to personal or romantic matters.
