“Mark Erwin’s The Powers is terrific. It not only inspires and motivates, it educates and thoroughly entertains. Drawing on motivational research, the experiences of some of history's greatest achievers and Ambassador Erwin's own remarkable personal life, The Powers offers us specific, actionable ideas for career, financial and emotional success—all without preaching and with unexpected humor. The Powers is much more than a motivational book, it is a handbook for a successful life.”──Mark Ethridge, Pulitzer Prize-winning editor and author of Grievances and Fallout
