“Spark”
reminds me of how I used to be when I was younger and more care-free, with
less stress and responsibilities. It’s empowering to realize I hold the
key to living the life I love through the way I think! I’ve reread “Spark”
several times already, and I’ve only had the book for about 2 months! It’s
a great place to come back to regularly to see if I’m being exactly who I
want to be within our world. My “Spark” is shining brightly again, and I’m
finding new fulfilling relationships entering into my life everyday.

"Understanding
the power of SPARK changed the entire course of my life. In a world where
individuality is prized but the "group mentality" is nurtured
instead, these tools unlocked my own set of unique talents . . . allowing
me to use my undiscovered passions to reach new personal and career goals.
Before looking inward and finding my own personal SPARK, I was headed
down a life-path that was unfulfilling and safe. Now, I find constant
challenges and successes in my day-to-day journey as an actor (and resident
of planet Earth!) that make life worth living!"
Ron
DeStefano, Actor
"The
real power in Spark for me was realizing that I didn't have to change
my life at all in order to be happy. I just needed to change how I viewed
my life. Prior to Spark, my work was about making stuff and accomplishing
tasks everyday. Now it's about creating an environment of learning and
inspiration in my workplace, and that's what really guides how I work
with my team. Even after 8 years in the same job, I'm excited again about
going to work everyday. New opportunities keep coming my way and our business
has never been healthier. And Spark has reached way beyond my career.
Since my first read, I've found the most satisfying, loving relationship
of my life."
