"I met John and received a signed copy of The Why Café. I read it the next day, then called my store and told my manager to order ten copies today! Simply put, yet a powerful wake up tool, I continue to gift this book to my ‘sleepyhead’ friends, new acquaintances, and store customers."
- Ricki Blanchard, Owner of the Higher Self Bookstore - Traverse City, Michigan

“Thank you for the gift of freedom that you have given my wife and I. After reading you book The Why Café, we restructured our business and found a way to spend time doing what is most important to us. I gave a copy to my mother who was in a terrible slump with her marriage and job.... She has not stopped thanking me yet. What a powerful/simple book. Thanks again.”
- Jack Bull, Georgia

“I first saw your book at a dinner party I attended. When I finally got the book myself, I loved it so much that I read it in one go. The following year, I went back home to the Netherlands and took a few copies with me to give to my friends. Their reaction was so positive, that I decided to give your book to all my friends as a Christmas present. Your book is delightfully uplifting and every time I read it, I discover more.”
- Alex Ten Have – The Netherlands

“The Why Cafe is a little miracle that got me thinking about life in a completely different way. I have spent countless hours erecting the structure of my worldly experience without ever seriously considering the foundation. Your book helped me to realize that a few fundamental questions need to be answered before I continue building. I re-read it every time I feel overwhelmed or out of balance.”
- Bruce Hurley, Ft. Lauderdale, FL

“When I first read your book, I was blown away. Finding out my PFE and finally focusing on it has totally changed my life. Up to then my favorite all time book was Illusions by Richard Bach and it was my Bible. I carried it everywhere. Now it has been replaced by The Why Cafe. It's hard to keep a hold on my copy, everyone wants to borrow it.”
- Kenny Star, Sedona, Arizona

“I was given The Why Cafe as a birthday gift. Having accumulated a large self-improvement book library I was not the least bit interested in reading yet another self-help book at this point in my life. After a few days I decided to read the introduction. Five hours later, I had completed the book and was singing it's praises about how it changed my life. (I didn't even realize it needed changing).”
- Gianna Bari Lassiter, MN

“I finished your book and wow! It made me speechless. Seriously, it might be a small book yet it has such a profound impact that it can change one’s life! As for my mother, the impact was the same. After I read the book I told her about it and she was very curious to read it herself. This is what she said ‘The Why Café taught me in a couple of hours more about life than all other books.’ Her name is M.A. Bruynzeel.”
- Daniel Oostenbrink, Zwolle, The Netherlands

- Olivia Riches, Orlando, FL

- Marsha Rubin Naples, FL

- John H. Zhao, V.P. Legend Holdings Limited, Beijing, China

“Thank you for sharing your wisdom in your book The Why Are You Here Café. I would also like to take this opportunity to share with you the fact that the one copy of your book that I originally purchased from you only 2 weeks ago has done so many rounds among my friends and relatives that it’s looking frighteningly dog-eared and tattered; hence the decision to purchase some more to give away as Christmas presents.”
- Leonard Ong, Singapore

"I bought two additional copies of your book from Amazon, U.S. Why two? Because I’ve fallen in love with the idea you present inside and I wanted to share it with my friends. One copy went from Poland to Mallorca Island in Spain. The second took an even longer trip from Poland to Paris, France, then to Bern, Switzerland.”
- Andrzej Gab, Warsaw, Poland

“I enjoyed reading your book The Why Cafe. You have a great message and have found a thought provoking and endearing way to express it. We all need (daily!) reminding and your ability to simplify makes the finding and living of true essence approachable and dare I say it (that overworked conservationist's phrase) more sustainable.”
- Richard Zanre, United Kingdom

“Be proud of the way you have touched so many others through your book The Why Cafe. It is a marvelous achievement. I have bought copies for other people that I know, who are asking the same questions you pose in the book. You would smile to think of the wonderful reactions I have received.”
- Mery et Lescher, Sydney, Australia

“Loved your book. My connection with you was made, actually in your foreword. A rush of energy came over from top to bottom and many goose-bumps accompanied. There was a definite familiar realization, rather heart warming. When you were busy traveling to spot the cafe's lights in the distance, a similar knowing came over me. It's truly as if I was right there sharing your experience. Very close to home!! It's nice and always exciting to feel in the physical a definite spiritual moment/connection.”
- Berenice – Cape Town, South Africa

“Thanks to your book, I am no longer wandering aimlessly, achieving, but without a deep level of satisfaction. I am very happy and thankful that I have discovered your work and have been actively handing on your message and work to my friends and family. Thank you.”
- Edward Pomicter, MD

Many years ago, I read that a person looking back on his life regrets more the things he did not do than appreciates the things he did do. The strength and enlightenment of your book enables every person to both define, during their lives, what makes their life fulfilled, and then focus their energies on fulfilling their definitions of a purpose-filled life. Every person following your guidance and inspiration will be able to look back on their own lives with satisfaction and fulfillment, and no regrets.”
- Jim Sargent

“Your book caused me to reflect within myself and truly understand my purpose and the impact I was put on earth to deliver. It’s a constant source for a check from the neck up! I use the book and lessons I have learned in my trainings to encourage others to achieve their highest visions. Thanks!”
- Scott Schilling, Phoenix, AZ

“Thank you John for a delightful, yet valuable story.”
- Janice Smith, author of The Era of the Rebel: Embracing our Individuality

read that I will suggest to all my friends. It has had a huge impact on my life in the last couple days. I interviewed for two jobs last week so I have some interesting decisions to make pretty soon. Thanks for writing this great book.”
- Phil LaScala

“I have to say that your book has had a profound impact on my life. At the time I was introduced to the cafe, I was at a very difficult point. My view of people, life and relationships were improved greatly by the book. You are a true "Green Sea Turtle".
- Mason Turner

“When I read your book The Why Are You Here Cafe, I could not put it down. In fact, I was so deeply touched and humored by your fantastic way of illustrating such a profound paradigm shift-- that I just had to write my thoughts down right then and there! So, since I was on a plane at the time, with nothing to write on-- the Giorgio Armani, perfume ad, became my outlet! I guess it's true that big things come in small packages. Thank you Why Cafe!”
- Christy Vannetta, Raleigh, NC

“I take care of my boss' house when he travels and I was checking on it the other day after the hurricane came through. I laid my keys, etc. on the kitchen counter and noticed your book on the counter. It caught my attention. I called my boss from his house to confirm that he was still without power. He asked me to sit-tight and he would return my call when he finished another call. I picked up the little book and began to read it. I couldn't put it down. An hour or so later, my boss finally called, asked me to do a few things around the house and then head back to the office. I asked if I could borrow the little book and he said he thought it would be a marvelous book for me to read. I took it to the office and finished it an hour or two later. I was so excited about the book that I told my husband to read it. He just finished it. What a great little book!!!! Thanks for writing it.”
- Melissa, FL

“I finished your book today and wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed it. It was good timing for me because I have been discussing the same old routine that I have endured over the last 10 years. The good thing is that I enjoy what I do, but realize that there must be other things in life that are more fulfilling. Thanks for writing something so thought provoking.”
- Joe Slate, NC

“Regardless of your age or where you are in your life, this book has something for you to think about--where you are, where you're going, why you're doing what you're doing and, most importantly, why you're not doing the things that will help you meet your life goals.”
- Kat, Seattle, WA (Amazon.com)

I recommend this to anyone who thinks there is something missing in life but are not quite sure what it is - this book can help you get started.”
- E. Diaz, Melbourne, FL (Amazon.com)

“I loved this book. It is the journey of one man to a magical cafe in the middle of the middle of nowhere. He's tense, unhappy and frustrated - a condition that plagues much of our society. At this average little diner he discovers the answers to three of life's greatest questions.”
- Deanna Joseph, CA (Amazon.com)

"My friend lent me your book "The Why Cafe" and I actually read it out loud (haven't done that in years) to my husband and daughter. We are at that point in our lives and really needed the boost your book gave us. Thank you for writing it."
