There are no words to describe the value of the wisdom that Gary Kunath delivers to serve as an important reminder to stop and evaluate our work/life balance. Extremely thought provoking, backed with solid information, Gary will make everyone that watches this come away with a renewed understanding of where they are currently, and where they need to be in their life/work balance. Everyone needs to watch this talk, you’ll be better off for it.”

“Gary, I wanted to say I just saw you speak for the second time this year and both times you had a profound effect on my thoughts and feelings about life. The way you connected the topics from Net Worth vs Life Worth to pushing away negative energy to doing the right thing, to savor every minute of every day.

But the thing that I connected with the most was time with the people we care about most. When I heard you in May it was a wake up call for me about my direction in life and how work was dictating it. Last week after I spoke with you it was a re-affirmation of what I have been trying to change over the last few months. Hearing you speak could not have come at a better time. If anytime you every want to speak, I am a huge advocate of what you say and do in your speeches.

I wanted to thank you for what you said and how you did it. I think your message is important especially to Marriott right now as they have merged together with Starwood as well as started this massive global growth. Your message speaks to so many from all corners of the Marriott World.

I am one of your biggest advocates.”

“Your talk was very inspirational and a great input. I want to thank you that you came all the way from the East Coast just to talk to us. I really want to let you know that there was at least one person in the room that was truly touched. I know I still have a long way to become the person I want to be and I am hoping that the day, on which I will find out my purpose in life will come soon.

Moreover, I got reminded how important relationships are. Money does not make happy, but people do. I will try harder to work on the relationships with the people that really matter to me. When you ask what we would do if we only had 10 years left, I thought travelling. And when you ask what we would do if we only had one day, I thought spend it with the people I love. I recognized we should live every day like our last.

I really hope you keep giving those talks. Sometimes people just get lost in the busyness of life and need a little reminder about what is really important: “savor the coffee, not the cup!”

“Gary spoke to figuring out what truly matters in life and how he was able to get out of the “spin cycle” before it was too late. He spoke of people wanting to have joy and contentment in their lives and to measure your value not by your “net worth” but rather by “life worth.” He talked about the stuff that matters. He shared that a truly rich person is not the one who has the most, but the one who needs the least. That people won’t remember the car that you drove or how big your home was. Rather, they will remember if you made a difference in someone’s life – they will remember if the world is just a little bit better because you roamed the planet. He said that good goes around. And that being a better giver makes you a better getter – and this I believe, as long as you don’t give to get. And therefore, I submit, that the third piece of the puzzle is to lead for the right reasons. Don’t take on something to “build your resume,” but instead do it to help make a difference in someone’s life.”

“Gary’s thoughts and passions provide much more, so much more, than a corporate seminar on keeping work and life in balance. I finished the book this weekend – cried a little, laughed a lot, and realized that it may be time for a bit of housekeeping myself.”

“Thank you for helping me to put my life into better perspective!”

“This is one of the best books I have ever read!!! It was so good, I told my husband about it, he read it, & loved it. I liked it so much I bought 2 more and sent to each of my Daughters & Son-in Laws to read. My husband liked it so much, He bought 2 and sent them to friends. The friends are having their wives read it. It really is a very inspirational book! It reminds you of what is Really important in life. It’s also a very easy & fast read. Once you start, you don’t want to put it down until you finish it. I would highly recommend this book for anyone who wants more out of life. “Lifeworth” ”
