Editorial Review:
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. 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.

I agree with the person who said: "This is a good, easy and pleasent book to read. The message is simple yet important."
A Pleasant Break!  2007-09-30
The Angel Inside by Chris Widener was an enjoyable treat. Not a novel reader per se, I found this easy and fast read ... a pleasant surprise and a welcome break from the fast pace of life and the must reads of self improvement. It was hard to put down and I will pick it up again the next time I need to abscond from the `Salt Mine' and the unrelenting `Chore Master' of the `Fast Lane' Life! Will be on `Gift List' for almost every occasion! Dr. D. P. Gatten
