I recently completed the PGG course and found it incredibly insightful. The sections on initiating conversations across diverse topics—from green growth to offsetting—were particularly valuable. The high-quality materials you provided enriched the learning experience and complemented the course content perfectly. Excellent work!

For anyone working in or with businesses, post-growth is the next big topic. The Post-Growth Guide artfully break down what this future economy would look like for the world of business. A must read for anyone frustrated with the current state of business sustainability, and ready for what comes next.

I wholly recommend this course.
What I really appreciate about this one is that it meets the student where many people interested in corporate sustainability are: Guided by good intentions, blinded by bad stories.
It starts with these familiar stories: decoupling is happening, green growth spurred by new technology will fix everything, etc. All 13 of them.
You will be disabused of these stories with accessible visuals and key statistics based on the latest credible data and studies (which. although all publicly available, but most people are unaware of).
From there, space opens up to explore a new paradigm: Aligning business with a strive for societal thriving within planetary boundaries.
The old toolkit may be gone, but the new one presented to you is much more comprehensive, actually effective, and surprisingly fun.

In the initial phases of engaging with the concept of Post-growth and Wellbeing Economy, Post Growth Guide encouraged us to use our voice and company as a platform for change. In essence PGG helped us see that what can seem radical and counter-intuitive in the present, may become reality in the future - but only if we believe, mobilise and act.

Working in sustainability daily can sometimes be frustrating due to the inherent limitations of the current endless-growth business mentality. The Post Growth Guide offers an eye-opening perspective, one that I believe will increasingly shape the foundation of future global development.

Amazing work on how to create a post-growth business. For years I struggled to find what it would mean a post-growth world. They manage to bring theory into practice!

This course has been both an eye-opening learning experience for me—offering insights that challenge conventional thinking. I highly recommend it to anyone in business who genuinely wants to address sustainability.

I have taken the Post Growth Business 101 course. I found it very interesting. Well structured content, very clear explanations, even for a non-native English speaker like me (Thank you!) The support resources are amazing. 100% recommended.

I could not give less than 5 stars as The Post Growth Guide is definitely the place where you can find infinite inspirations about how to concretely implement this approach in business. Thanks for that !

The Post Growth Guide launched its book! I'm a paying member so I get to enjoy it at no additional cost. 😊 Are you also interested in learning to make better business decisions in this century, and joining a community with fellow learners? Check out their website: lnkd.in/ekM_JsQP
Heed their warning though: this is only for the genuine first movers!

Gaya Herrington I agree that this guide from Marcus Feldthus and Mads Oscar Haumann is ground-breaking! It comprehensively applies Dana Meadows' Leverage Points -- all 12 of them! -- to the business context!
What I've shared with Marcus is that they could further build on this approach by adding the methodologies that have already been developed in direct lineage from Dana over the past 2+ decades by Mark W. McElroy, PhD (who chaired Dana's Sustainability Institute before and after her premature 2001 death) with the practice of Context-Based Sustainability (CBS), a conceptual framework for applying Dana's thinking around "limits" (ie thresholds) to the business context (as I noted to Marcus, the other thinkers they note upfront -- Rockstrom, Raworth, Hickel, etc... -- likewise work with sustainability thresholds at broader scales of application, not at the business scale -- CBS is unique in that sense). I have been a strong proponent of CBS ever since I first encountered it in the early oughts.
Much of what Marcus and Oscar do is intuitively similar to CBS, which is a great validation! I look forward to further development of their approaches. In the meanwhile, do check out their guide -- it offers a novel approach!

The book does a fantastic job balancing academic rigor and practice-oriented examples, making it accessible and relevant at the same time.
It makes excellent teaching material, which will provide students with much-needed insights into how alternative, more sustainable entrepreneurship - fit for the 21st century - is possible and foster their systems thinking capabilities.

Fab work, Marcus Feldthus & Mads Oscar Haumann!

Lately, I've found myself intrigued by the debate about green growth vs. degrowth. I’ve been eagerly soaking up the wisdom shared on LinkedIn by people like Marcus Feldthus and Mads Oscar Haumann (seriously, follow them!) and have been inspired by thinkers like Timothée Parrique.

Highly recommend everyone that reads about all these systems changes that we need, but dont know where to start with all of that stuff inside your own business. I am at chapter 7 now and already learned plenty that I can adapt for my company to do better.

Great work Mads Oscar Haumann and Marcus Feldthus! I think that it is a valuable resource for Jennifer Wilkins, Maiko Mathiesen, and many more professionals operating in the post-growth niche.
