Praise for The Tao of Influence

“Some twenty years ago, a quote came across my desk that has been with me ever since: ‘Who you are speaks so loudly that no one will ever hear a word you’re saying.’ Karen McGregor’s The Tao of Influence expands on that concept, bringing to our awareness just how our State of Consciousness informs our thoughts, words, and ultimately our deeds. A book that is both spiritual and oriented towards happiness and success is what I am always looking for. In that search, The Tao of Influence is an exquisite find! Read these pages, feel the Tao, get into the Holy Flow and Have the Best Day Ever!”

“Everyone is on a journey to unravel their true purpose and create the impact and influence they know is possible. I regularly ask God/the Universe, ‘Please help me understand your will.’ This has often led to being thrown into tough circumstances! While it may not be what we think we want, it helps us learn new perspectives. The Tao of Influence does a great job of helping you realize that in the midst of all this, coming from a place of love and compassion in trying times is the key to lasting influence and true leadership.”

—Brian Smith, UGG Founder

“The original TAO states that the true Tao can never be spoken. This is true AND The Ancient Ones never met Ms. Karen McGregor, author of The Tao of Influence! WOW! For centuries, men have tried to interpret this ancient, orally transmitted masterpiece of wisdom for simplicity and guidance. It’s commonly known as ‘The Way of Life.’ This masterpiece is now interpreted for us by a woman to help us digest its profound wisdom in the twenty-first century. The simple elegance that Karen masterfully teaches us can now influence us living in the modern age.

“She has manifested the wisdom of the inner mystery of the ages to be used outwardly in our everyday lives. No small task. The ancient TAO clearly states that ‘the underdog always wins.’ Karen has now won her place in human history as one of the first women to update this timeless treasure for us all. What a profound gift. Do you want the whole ball of wax in one book? This is it! Forget therapy, how-to, or any other kind of self-help book out there. It’s all in here, end of story. I’m deeply moved to tears. Thank you Karen for caring enough to guide and teach us about the updated Way of Life we so need today.”
