Inserting love, kindness, compassion, and other virtues into capitalism may seem like a pipe dream but professors at the University of Michigan Ross School of Business are fostering just that. Changing the business school curriculum to include business sustainability models and positive organization dynamics is helping to increase employee satisfaction and to heal the world.

At the Positive Business Conference, Harvesting Happiness Podcast Host, Lisa Cypers Kamen sat down with two well-known scholars and published professors about their contributions to creating a new generation of businesses that will transform lives through positive encouragement and positive motivation.
