Praise for this book:

"These wonderful stories take the topic of 'care' and teach us how we can make it front and center in our lives. I was inspired by the simplicity and power of the book and know that anyone who reads it will be equally impressed."
Frederic Luskin, Ph.D., Author 'Forgive for Good,' Director Stanford Forgiveness Projects

"What an amazing concept Ivan Temes has introduced to us all—that through CARE we have the power! Too often we look at power as dominance over others rather than service to them.  Ivan has caught the heart of a beautiful lesson that Mother Teresa taught us all—that service is love in action. Share this truly powerful book with business associates, friends and family. Let's all join with Ivan to create a caring revolution!"
Brian Biro, America's Breakthrough Coach

"These stories are wonderful. Trust leads to motivation and participation. In 'Care: You Have the Power' we should each be able to identify with and use the care factors that are the foundation of real trust."
Bill Campbell, Chairman Intuit Corporation

"Ivan has really hit on the importance of care—whether it be in our business or personal lives. He's a role model for the 21st century in business. Care is certainly a foundation of our rapid growth at Joie de Vivre Hospitality"
Chip Conley, CEO, Joie de Vivre Hospitality

"I loved your book. Many assume care is soft and takes too much time. You have made CARE clear, a tangible skill that can be relearned quickly and is a key to bottom line results."
Lee Glickstein, President, Speaking Circles International

"I think this book is a wonderful testimony to Ivan's devotion to care."
James Thomas, Reverend and Psychologist

"It was so great to read this book—I wish it was mandatory reading for all upper management folks."
Manda Choi, Customer Care Representative

"Wow, I am so impressed by your book and its fascinating insights and stories. It is so easy to read and does a wonderful job of reminding the reader (and humanity) of what is really important and acutely missing in the workplace of this country."
Lisa Young, Personal Coach and Healer

"While watching my dad, Ivan, put together his book, I not only saw the pages come to life but Ivan come to life. Ivan had a new perspective on life, a way to teach people about caring. 'Care: You Have the Power' isn't all about Ivan, nor is it all about care-it's also about how people interact with care-how they use it, how they waste it and how they fix it. Many of the stories in this book have come from negative experiences that could have been avoided with a sprinkle of care. When I attended one of Ivan's seminars I saw how much he wanted to share the notion of care. Ivan really seemed to connect with these people in transition. Ivan gets the care principle—that care is a combination of many different things. As this book progressed so did Ivan. He poured his heart and soul into completing this book and I'm positive you will reap the rewards of caring in every part of your lives."
