I found the stories highly inspiring and informative.  It was nice to read about, in Mitch Kapor's story for instance, how mistakes were almost made, where the concerns with intellectual property and non-competes were etc. These are very real issues that entrepreneurs don't think about when they start a company and yet wind up facing every day. I will recommend this book as a companion to my book, LIES STARTUPS TELL THEMSELVES TO AVOID MARKETING because the value, I believe, is in hearing not just the success, but how the entrepreneur's got there. My book shows many befores and afters, and like FOUNDERS, these are valuable, and very graphic, experiences to share.

We Are Charleston is both informative and inspiring. The prose is a combination of the detail-oriented style of Herb, the journalist, the accuracy of Powers, the historian, and the soul of the poet, Wentworth. Though it was an "easy read," I did not find it boring or condescending. As a native Charlestonian who once lived directly behind Emanuel, I was satisfied that the Jim Crow Charleston was not romanticized, but her story told with its gut-wrenching truth. This is why the book inspires. One can see how we have overcome, and one can also see that we have much work to do and a long way to go. I think the book helps point the way.

This book is very inspiring. Everyone should read it. Extremely informative, but also emotional and thought provoking. I learned a lot about Islam, the Taliban in Pakistan, and the importance of education.

The stories all provide take-always that are educational, inspiring, and encouraging for people of all walks of life.  I thought the authors did a great job showing the events of each leader's life and drawing out their passions and regrets.  I will continue to recommend this book to friends.  Jim from Richmond, TX

I recommend this book to everyone who is interested in moving forward on the spiritual path. Its rare to read about the experiences of a living master. A very honestly written book that deals with different aspects of moving towards a path and very meticulously answers a lot of questions through a special chapter on Q & A
The book gave me a lot of knowledge on the spiritual subject and I will be reading it more than once to make sure I absorb all the pearls of wisdom shared by the living master.

I found this book fascinating and very inspiring.  The women profiled came from diverse backgrounds and followed different paths to achieve positions of power and influence.  The barriers they encountered along the way are seen more as learning experiences, and thus the book has a very positive and constructive message for all women who are facing similar challenges.  I highly recommend this book for any woman who is looking to have an impact in public health or similar non-profit field.

This is one of the best books I have read, which introduces the world of meditation, in such detail. The author provides ample insight into the resistance one might feel, when starting to meditate. There is a very accepting tone and language, when describing the reasons and excuses one might make, to not meditate. And I LOVE how the focus is on taking baby steps- just breathing. The possibilities for me seem endless right now. And what is great is that the book talks about customizing the meditation experiences as per the needs and situation of the person. Inspiring read.

This is a very inspiring book. I wanted to find out about Kundalini Yoga and this certainly was informative. The instructions for the exercises and meditations are clear and easy to follow and the anecdotes help with the understanding of the individual chakras. I particularly liked the quotes from Gurmukh's guru, Yogi Bhajan. If you have any interest in Yoga at all you will find this an inspirational book.

I found this book both inspiring and helpful. I finished reading it in it's entirety recently, but plan to go back and reread several sections so that I can fully absorb the material.

This book was a great read - inspiring, interesting, and informative as it addresses questions we all face about God and how and why He does what He does.  The author comes from her own experiences as God walks her through numerous trials and suffering and through it all, becomes more real and personal to her as she faces the trying circumstances with which she is confronted.  It was hard to put down because she is able to draw in her readers and make them feel as it they were walking right there with her and having the same feelings and thoughts.  She does not pretend to have all the answers about God but she does not run from the hard questions or confusing experiences.  She is honest and real as she defends her intimate relationship with God and her spiritual journey.

I found this book inspiring and informative.  I bought a pair a Vibram FiveFingers before I finished reading, and I can't wait for the snow to thaw so I can try them out.  I won't repeat what the other favorable reviews said, but I do want to mention to readers that Caballo Blanco's website ([...]) has photos from the 2006 ultramarathon described in this book.  It was nice to see the photos and put faces to the names in the book.

I enjoyed reading this inspiring book! Although it is conversationally written, complex issues like spirituality and love are routinely referenced throughout. I could easily identify with the author's range of emotion as I flipped the pages; joy,  sorrow, peace.  The author's clever word choices and interesting perspective on life make for an interesting read.

No doubt you'll also be encouraged as you read Conversations from a Quest for Divine. I look forward to the next volume.
