In April of 2000, Gary Erickson turned down a $120 million offer to buy his thriving company. Today, instead of taking it easy for the rest of his life and enjoying a luxurious retirement, he's working harder than ever. Why would any sane person pass up the financial opportunity of a lifetime?

Raising the Bar tells the amazing story of Clif Bar's Gary Erickson and shows that some things are more important than money. Gary Erickson and coauthor Lois Lorentzen tell the unusual and inspiring story about following your passion, the freedom to create, sustaining a business over the long haul, and living responsibly in your community and on the earth. Raising the Bar chronicles Clif Bar's ascent from a homemade energy bar to a $100 million phenomenon with an estimated 35 million consumers, and a company hailed by Inc. magazine as one of the fastest-growing private companies in the U.S. four years in a row. The book is filled with compelling personal stories from Erickson's life-trekking in the Himalayan mountains, riding his bicycle over roadless European mountain passes, climbing in the Sierra Nevada range--as inspiration for his philosophy of business. Throughout the book, Erickson--a competitive cyclist, jazz musician, world traveler, mountain climber, wilderness guide, and entrepreneur--convinces us that sustaining one's employees, community, and environment is good business.

If you are a manager, executive, business owner, or board member, Raising the Bar is your personal guide to corporate integrity. If you are a sports enthusiast, environmentalist, adventure lover, intrigued by a unique corporate culture, or just interested in a good story, Raising the Bar is for you.

Great warm, pretty blankets
Size: Queen (90-Inch-by-90-Inch), Color: Sage Green
Purchased 2 to use as furniture throws for 2 chairs that the new dog insists are his. Thought the texture might help prevent slipping of the fabric. These were inexpensive so I thought I had the problem covered! Then the temperature went to -1!! So I added one to our bed & it’s great for warmth! I particularly love that it’s very lightweight. So, one unexpected problem solved & the original issue still needs attention. I’m going to order two more. The color selection is super too.

Very Comfortable and Cozy
Color: 03 - Grey, Size: Queen (90" X 90")
The Bedsure Sherpa Blanket is extremely soft and very comfortable. It keeps me warm without feeling too heavy or stuffy. The quality is great with no shedding or strange smell. Perfect for cold weather, and overall it’s a great value for the price.

I love this blanket I took my time to write a review.
Color: 03 - Dark Grey, Size: Throw (50" X 60")
If I’m writing a review- this means business lol I never write reviews unless it’s 5 star worthy to me. This blanket is so soft and quality is amazing, it’s not too heavy or too light. It keeps you cozy and warm, not hot and sweaty. The color I got is gray and it’s just what I expected. Highly recommend getting this blanket. It’s my safe blankie lol I freaking love it. Been dreading to write a review but I’m like I must tell the others. Buy it! You’ll thank me and yourself you did.
