George Leonard is a remarkable man who embodies what he teaches: an astonishing curiosity, a passionate intelligence, and the rare combination of a broad vision and focused mastery of details.

"If he is right—and Leonard has often been right about prevailing currents of the zeitgeist, raising the question of whether he has a third eye—the coming decade could be known as the decade of mastery."

"George Leonard translates the wisdom of Zen into a self-help program to persevere—whether you are learning Aikido or seeking support in realizing long-held goals."
