The World is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.
- Saint Augustine

Whether you're off on yet another business trip, taking an afternoon jaunt to a nearby town, or finally heading out on your dream trip around the world, make room in your bag for The Power of Travel by Steve Zikman. You'll gain more wisdom and insight from your travels if you reflect on the themes woven through this gem.

Ultimately, leadership development is really self development. I've found no better way of discovering what makes me tick than a trip to a new locale. Open-minded travel is a powerful route to personal growth, and Zikman's book is a thought-provoking guide for embracing the lessons of life and leadership along the way.


Cynthia, Braunfels, Germany

Like a sculptor, travel removes the surrounding rock to reveal our Essence... Whether we travel for a day, a week, or a year, travel presents us with the opportunity to change ourselves in fundamental ways... We are able to look at life from different angles, openly and freely...we gain perspective, a sense of ourselves, and a sense of our place in the larger world.
- excerpt from The Power of Travel

Get out of that armchair and give the Power of Travel a try.

We shall not cease from exploration
And at the end of all our exploring
Will be able to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.
- T.S. Eliot
