Get the Book
Currently, the book is available in PDF format. Other digital formats and print are planned early 2027. Subscribe for updates.
The book is written in English. It has 261 pages, not counting appendices and bibliography. That can feel daunting, so an orientation guide helps you quickly find the chapters most relevant to you.
There are 2 ways to get the book. Both come with an invoice for your accounting, if you need one.
Option 1: Purchase now for €26.95
Contact us for volume deals if you’d like to buy the book for multiple team members.

Option 2: Pay What Feels Right (honor system)
Some books end up not meaning much to us, while others are tremendously helpful. Isn’t paying the same price for both somewhat odd? This book’s message is so dear to my heart that I’d rather not let price keep it from someone with limited means or doubts about the impact it will have.
I decided to do an experiment: you can buy the book at the fixed price of €26.95, but I’ve also made it available without paywall.
Here’s the deal: I give you the book, and you give back whatever it was worth to you. It's an experiment in abundance where I trust that when I give, I will also receive.
How does it work?
Put a note in your calendar, say a month out, to consider what you'd like to gift back if you liked the book. (You’ll also get an automatic email a month after download, but don't rely on it as these get lost easily.)
Download the book by clicking the button below and filling out the form.
Pay What Feels Right after you read the book, using the 2nd button below.
I believe practicing trust in small ways like this can quietly nurture trust in the world.
If this way of sharing one’s work resonates with you, you can help prove that it works.
I’m grateful for your participation and generosity. 🙏💛

About Pay-What-Feels-Right
-
I remember going on vacation to a village in Wallonia. There was a bakery with an entrance hall, open all day, stocked with wonderfully arranged pastries. You took what you wanted and paid at a card machine. No staff. Nothing locked up. No cameras. And everyone paid.
What a beautiful, simple approach avoiding all kinds of costs for control systems that would otherwise drive up the bakery’s prices! With trust, everyone wins.
As I’ve found that organizations work better when they're built on similar principles, I chose to try this approach with my book too, following Frederic Laloux’s example.

What if you could evaluate a book's impact before paying anything?
What if you could freely move an e-book between devices, without piracy protection?
This experiment makes it possible.
It only works if you don't forward your copy. Please point people interested in the book to www.highimpactorgs.com. There they can buy it or download it in Pay-What-Feels-Right mode.

Pay-What-Feels-Right lets you give what feels right for the value you received and/or to support me in continuing this work.
Even if I spent years researching and writing this book, I made it available without paywall and trust readers will honor their part in this exchange.
If the book didn't help you, then don't pay anything. But if it did, please consider a generous gift back.

Pay-What-Feels-Right invites us to pause and reflect on the value we bring to one another, through a book. It turns a formal transaction into a personal exchange of gifts between us, an author and a reader.
This book is my gift to you, with no guarantee of a gift back. Every contribution I receive is given freely, and each one means someone out there says my work matters to them. I love that idea.
I believe freely chosen exchanges like this create more meaningful relationships, even across the world with people we never meet.
Thank you for being a part of this!
