"Edward Lee Isler is the managing partner at Isler Dare Ray and Radcliffe, PC, a law firm, based at Tyson's Corner, Washington, Virginia, USA. His clients can face stressful legal matters. Eddie wrote: "Many published books, while momentarily entertaining, are destined to end up forgotten on our bookshelves. Mr. Muir has created a piece of work that will serve as a continuing inspiration and encouragement for those seeking to navigate many of life's challenges and pitfalls." Mark Withers is a business and organizational transformation consultant in the United Kingdom. He works with organisations to improve their performance and confront difficult issues. He wrote: "This book makes you smile and it makes you think. It scans the complexities of modern living and brings into focus the things that really matter." Stuart Lindenfield, an international authority on business networking, author and senior manager at Reed Consulting, is based in both the United Kingdom and Spain. Having read this book, he commented: "A real treasure trove of paradigm-shifting spirit-lifting aphorisms. Great for dipping into when the creative juices need a boost." Gisela Klinkhammer is a German senior public sector lawyer dealing with complex cross-border issues. Based near Cologne, she travels extensively in Europe and wrote: "This light hearted look at life is easy to follow but it contains immensely powerful advice." Taro Ogawa is a human resources manager working for ADC Asia Pacific Abbott. He is based in Tokyo, Japan and after due consideration wrote: "Congratulations on finalizing such a valuable book in your life. It took me a while to get back to you because I wanted more time to read it completely since I would like to understand your real message in the book. This book has relevance to many different cultures and speaks to both East and West." Diane Smith works in Customer Operations for British Airways at London Heathrow Airport, United Kingdom. Having read The Book of Inner Strength, she said: "We all know how busy and stressful the world's major airports can get. This helpful guide enables people to step back and take stock before facing the next challenge, renewed and refreshed. I can think of quite a few people who will get lasting pleasure from The Book of Inner Strength." Michael Winslow is a non executive director and business performance coach. Based in the United Kingdom, he works in both the UK and Europe helping senior business leaders achieve their goals. Michael said: "This book of inner strength will be extremely valuable to anyone who wants to significantly raise their game and improve their performance both personally and professionally. It will also be a useful resource to assist and support the individual during times of difficulty." Fiona Colquhoun is a Director at CEDR - the Centre for Effective Disputes Resolution. This highly respected and internationally renowned organisation specialises in mediation as an alternative to formal disputes. Almost all their successes are confidential; however their work resolves complex commercial problems, sometimes involving tens of millions of pounds. Fiona wrote: "The reader will find his or her story in each quotation." She also added that a pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity whereas an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty. Mark Perks is both a vineyard owner and viticulturalist in Tasmania, Australia. Mark commented "Despite the philosophical title, this book has practical value, and not just for burnt out business people!"
