"Quinn's book is one of the most significant books on personal and organizational transformation I have read in some time. Why? Because it is totally original, powerful, written with almost absurd lucidity, and transports you from muscular theory to a theory of action. A unique and seminal contribution." --Warren Bennis, professor, University of Southern California, and co-author, Co-Leaders and Organizing Genius

"With humility and a heart so clear that his inspiring message can be internalized, Robert Quinn has written the decade's finest book on change management. It calls you and me-as ordinary people-to embrace greatness. It asks us to be fully alive. It brings us, simultaneously, to our knees and then to our profound power to change the world." --David L. Cooperrider, professor, Case Western Reserve University, and author, Appreciative Inquiry: A Positive Revolution in Change

"Bold and brilliant, this book is a masterpiece for anyone who truly wants to achieve extraordinary results in their life. It dispels the traditional myths of leadership and reveals the truth about making a difference in this world." --Richard J. DeVries, community president, Citizens Bank

"This is a remarkable book. Faithful to its audacious title, it explores both 'change' and 'the world' in ways that engage us on every level of our lives." --Parker J. Palmer, author Let Your Life Speak and The Courage to Teach
