ACCLAIM FOR THE MAGICIAN’S WAY
“A mini masterpiece, the next Way of the Peaceful Warrior
...a genuinely accessible and articulate model for change.”
— Nyck Jeans, social activist, author of
Letter from New York
“Had I read The Magician’s Waythree years ago, I would
have rated it as a great book. When I finally read it re-
cently, I realized it is an absolute extraordinary book. I feel
like it was written just for me, and so will you. Unlike any
other book you’ll ever read, it takes you on a journey. I
think of it as Jonathan Livingston Seagullon steroids.”
— Paul Dunn, chairman, B1G1
“Although The Magician’s Way is a book, reading it feels
more like gazing at a wonderful painting. I can’t even
begin to rationalize about why I enjoyed it so much, but it
defied my innate skepticism and surprised me in a way I
really wasn’t expecting. If you are bored of how things are
and looking for a deeper way to appreciate the world and
rediscover the magic that you know is lying dormant
inside, then you absolutely must read this book.”
— Mike Giles, CEO, Meet the Giants
“The Magician’s Wayis a well-told story with simple truth
that resonates profoundly enough to empower a soul to
emerge from a prison of its own making — nothing less
than a reconnection to our own hearts. For the perennial
seeker, there are no new ideas here but a complete refram-
ing. This book has simply and powerfully changed the way
I live.”
— Jerry L. Jackson, writer/producer/director, chair,
New Members Committee, Writers Guild of America
“Inspiring, empowering, and uplifting. A heart-opening story
and a great read.”
— Brandon Bays, author of The Journey
“A great book...very useful and empowering.”
— Ruth Ostrow, journalist, author of Sacred & Naked
“Move over, James Redfield! The Magician’s Way shows
just how easy it is to succeed here and now, with focus,
instead of going off into the Peruvian Andes to learn. A
marvelous book — I was riveted and enjoyed every page!
Since reading it I sense I have made another leap forward
in my journey.”
— Bhagawati Morriss, metaphysical researcher, Bali
