    "Seeing David in the Stone was an easy read, but full of great guidance. You don't have to be an inventor, entrepreneur or president of a corporation to benefit from these words of wisdom. It's as much about figuring out how to be a great leader in whatever role you assume. The book takes the intimidation out of genius. It unveils genius as not so much a gift, as it  is the product of knowledge, passion, perseverance and focus; and using these to seize the opportunities that are revealed daily to all of us. As Disraeli says "The secret of success in life is for a man to be ready for his time when it comes. "Using this knowledge and leveraging others in the process is what will allow us to accomplish our objectives. Leadership is about figuring out what that leverage is, and how it can be garnered to accomplish our overall goals. I can put this knowledge to work daily in every aspect of my career and home life!!"
