I have enjoyed reading Doug's book. In fact I bought 6 of them to give away to my clients. Life is so much better when you have that spark everyday!

Spark is a real eye opener for anyone who is taking a close look at their life and has a deep desire to live every day to its fullest. Doug makes a meaningful connection with the reader through his many stories and exercises for reinforcement.

I highly recommend Spark--you'll think differently after reading it.

A great gift idea! I read this book in a week and then thought about it for a month straight. I continue to go back to it and re-read certain passages. It really makes you think about how you decide to live your life and gives you the tools to make changes. I'd reccomend it to anyone...from High School Grads to Retired folks! It's a must!
