Joseph Pine II, author of the 2026 book The Transformation Economy: Guiding Customers to Achieve Their Aspirations, shows why this is so and how brands can help customers flourish by guiding them to become who they want to become, whether that’s improving wellbeing, increasing prosperity, developing knowledge, or finding purpose.
