Jane Magruder Watkins, co-author with Bernard Mohr of Appreciative Inquiry: Change at the Speed of Imagination, says that “Ed’s book is, indeed, a treasure! You will feel instantly that he is your friend and fellow traveler on this magical journey to your own magical self! Ed writes from his heart with words that stream from the vast capacity of his ever-searching mind. If your life, like mine, is far too busy, this is the book for you. It comes in small ‘bites’ that can be read and savored in those spare minutes when you want to be entertained, encouraged, energized, and excited. Take it with you and
you will find a new friend, counselor, and companion at your side.”
Jacqueline Kelm, author of Appreciative Living, writes (in the Foreword to Ed's book) "This book will teach you how to astound yourself. Not only will Ed Jacobson’s thoughtful, funny, and wise writing inspire you to become more than you ever dreamed possible, it will also walk with you on each step of your journey toward that state of more. Ed’s aim in this book, and in all his work, is to teach us how to see what is life- affirming and good in every moment of our “one wild and precious life” (to borrow Mary Oliver’s beautiful phrase), to unlock our dreams and create the most inviting future we can imagine. And Ed’s aim is excellent! ... You will feel his heart, and his wisdom, on every page."
