"When a young boy asked Michelangelo Buonarroti why he was working so hard hitting the marble that would eventually become his masterpiece, David, the great artist answered, ""Young man, there is an angel inside this rock, and I am setting him free.""

The Angel Inside opens in modern day Florence, Italy where a despondent thirty-year-old American, Tom Cook, goes to ""find himself."" On the last day of his trip, a mysterious old man approaches Tom on a park bench and begins to lead Tom on a journey of Florence's art and sculpture, a dissertation on the history of Michelangelo's David, and a deeper look at Tom's own life and struggles.

Among the lessons this enlightening little book reveals- The beauty is in the details Your hand creates what your mind conceives All accomplishment starts with a single action No one starts with the Sistine chapel

This unforgettable parable from leading motivational speaker Chris Widener is a must-read if you want to find the true meaning of life and work--whether you're looking for a way to reinvigorate your career or searching for the courage to begin a new one.

There will come a time when you must decide to lead the life someone else has chosen for you...or the life you want.

According to legend, when a young boy asked the great Renaissance artist Michelangelo why he was working so hard hitting the block of marble that would eventually become his greatest sculpture, David, the artist replied, ""Young man, there is an angel inside this rock, and I am setting him free."" In The Angel Inside, the renowned consultant and career coach Chris Widener uses Michelangelo's words to explore the hidden potential that exists within us all.

In this unforgettable tale,

Tom Cook, a disillusioned American businessman, has traveled to Italy looking for direction in his life. In Florence, the last city on his tour, Tom meets a mysterious old man who opens his eyes to the art and life of Michelangelo and reveals what the artist's work can teach him-and all of us-about the power of following your passion.

Among the lessons that Tom learns over the course of the next day-

The beauty is in the details Your hand creates what your mind conceives All great accomplishments start with a single swift action No one begins by creating the Sistine Chapel

Whether you're looking for a way to reinvigorate your career or searching for the courage to begin a new one, THE ANGEL INSIDE is a must-read if you want to find true meaning in your life and work.

The break-out business parable that's already sold more than 70,000 copies, The Angel Inside tells the story of a young man searching for meaning in his work and finding it in an unlikely place- the life and art of Michelangelo."
