"Our life comes under the control of one or the other - presence in love or escape in fear. Perfect Practice offers us hope by defining the wisdom that pain offers. This wisdom brings with it freedom from our own fearful thoughts.

I have been entranced by the many interesting stories, lessons and gems of wisdom scattered throughout this book. I believe you, the reader, will too."

"As a coach, speaker, and writer, Mary Corning is a storyteller of the first rate. I invited her to speak with my team of corporate recruiters about the art of influencing others, and for ninety minutes she had them actively engaged in exploring concepts of speaking truth in uncomfortable situations. Through it all Mary demonstrated her exceptional sense of humor, listening skills, and ability to ask questions that go right to the heart of the matter. It was an inspiring team meeting--one of our best!"
