WHAT THEY'RE SAYING ABOUT ODE:
Planet Green, April 2, 2009
Meet Change Maker, Jurriaan Kamp, Editor-in-Chief of Ode Magazine, Jessica Root
“This native Netherlander makes bad news good again with his positive publication, Ode Magazine... The Netherlands and Bay Area-based magazine covers the 'other face of the news' reporting on issues like fair trade, socially responsible business, education, sustainable energy, and food justice—subject matter barely touched upon in mainstream news sources.”
Max Gladwell, March 27, 2009
Ode Magazine: A Much Needed Source of Inspiration and Connection, Paul Smith
“Fortunately, magazines like Ode exist. Billing itself as 'for intelligent optimists,' it seeks out what’s working and what’s possible while challenging the conventional wisdom about long thought intractable problems... they generate real hope in people - that there are many possibilities despite the mess our world would seems to be in right now, and that they are not alone in seeing a brighter future... I could go on for hours about Ode, having been a huge fan of the magazine for some time, it having played a pivotal role in shifting my life in an entirely different direction, deeply immersed in the sustainable business realm.”
Newsweek, March 23, 2009
Selling The Silver Lining, Daniel Stone, Newsweek web exclusive
“I found Ode, a monthly magazine with a Web presence that bills itself as for 'intelligent optimists' (which, aside from its accuracy, is great marketing). Their business model is built upon something so relevant, so constructive that I couldn't stop reading. There are features and columns from people with a positive take on everything.”

Are you an Intellectual Optimist?, Jessica Smith
“They’ve also got three columnists giving you something to think about, be inspired by, and take action, in your life, your community, and your heart, including: Paolo Coelho, bestselling Brazilian author of The Alchemist; Amy Domini, an innovator and expert on sustainable and ethical investing; [and] David Servan-Shreiber, French author and psychiatrist.”

Ode Magazine: A Special Offer For Our Readers, Ian, greener.ideal contributor
“The magazine covers sustainable topics in business, energy, health, entertainment, and just about any other topic you can think of. As Al Gore’s former speech writer put it, Ode is a magazine for people who are eager to make the world a better place.”
Twilight Earth, March 2009
And the Good News is… in Ode Magazine, Derek, Twilight Earth contributor
“Jurriaan Kamp and Hélène de Puy, wanted to publish an alternative to mainstream publications, a magazine open to new inspirations and new visions from around the world. Ode has succeeded in that goal and brought the alternative to the mainstream, featuring inspiring people like Dr. Andrew Weil, Patch Adams, and Deepak Chopra... Ode magazine covers topics such as business, energy, good news, solutions, alternative health, spirituality, and stories about people making a difference. Ode also features products that have the potential to make a difference in our lives and in our world, without the hard-sell and guilt-based copy.”
Chicago Tribune, July 29, 2008
Favorite Magazines: 'Narrow-minded selection', Chicago Tribune, Web Edition
“My favorite magazine is Ode: to people, to passion and to possibilities. Originally launched in the Netherlands, it now prints in the U.S. as well. It only prints positive news from around the globe.”
San Francisco Chronicle, January 9, 2008
The top 12 'Top 10' lists of 2007, Mark Morford, SF Gate Columnist
“Ode Magazine, the best little antidote to media nastiness you're not reading, but should be.”
San Francisco Chronicle, October 5, 2007
New 'positive change' magazines thrive in fertile Bay Area soil, Heidi Benson, Chronicle Staff Writer
“Ode is among a new generation of "positive change" magazines that, by focusing on problem solving, tap a burgeoning readership seeking to act upon its convictions - or at least read about those who do.”
Foreign Policy, March/April 2007
The Holland-America Line, Kate G. Palmer
“The magazine bills itself as a tool to help readers “see how every one of us can contribute to a more just and sustainable world.” According to Kamp, Ode is not simply a magazine; it’s a way of life.”
