John Mackey, co-funder and chief executive officer of Whole Foods Market, will discuss his new book, "Conscious Capitalism: Liberating the Heroic Spirit of Business," on Feb. 5 at 6:30 p.m. in the Ballroom. A book signing will follow the discussion.

Mackey's book focuses on companies, such as Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, Wegmans, Costco and the Container Store, that have purposes beyond simply maximizing profits.
