Advance Praise for
Stop Making Sense

“Michael Fanuele has quantified the impossible. Stop Making Sense is a new manual for learning true leadership, a book about how to be the best version of yourself whether your arena is the boardroom, or the living room. INSPIRING others is all about selflessness, it’s about acting your way into right thinking, it’s about being the change in the world that you want to see by embracing compassion. If you are looking for contentment and unlocking your potential for success, however you define it, then Fanuele’s set of simple principles that changed my life over the last quarter century will change yours in a matter of hours. If Simon Sinek and Brené Brown had a book baby together, you’re looking at it right now.”

—Andrew Zimmern, chef, author, teacher, host and producer
of Travel Channel’s Bizarre Foods

“Michael Fanuele shows us how our passion and emotion will take us farther than our logic ever can. I can't convince you to read this book, but I guarantee you'll be inspired by doing so.”

—Beth Comstock, author of Imagine It Forward and former vice chair, GE

“This is the book we need now: a blueprint for leading with heart, passion, and imagination. Fanuele is such a fun and generous storyteller you almost don't realize that he’s murdering so many small and cynical voices.”

—Andrew Essex, Co-founder, Plan A; author of The End of Advertising;
former CEO, Droga5 and Tribeca Enterprises

“This funny, sweary, energetic, challenging book will push you into a whole new way to find that compelling inspiration we’d all secretly like 1000% more of.”

—Adam Morgan, author of Eating The Big Fish, A Beautiful Constraint,
and founder, eatbigfish

“The best magic bends your brain, and that’s exactly what Michael Fanuele does in Stop Making Sense. With wit and insight, he dismisses the myth that we have to wait for inspiration to strike. He reveals the secrets that can make any of us a muse, dazzling audiences and getting the very best out of our teams, families, and most important, ourselves.”

—David Kwong, magician, “The Enigmatist,” author of Spellbound,
puzzle creator, and producer
