Critic reviews

"If Brené Brown and Simon Sinek had a book baby together, you're looking at it right now. Stop Making Sense is a new manual for learning true leadership. Fanuele's set of simple principles that changed my life over the last quarter century will change yours in a matter of hours." --Andrew Zimmern, chef, author, teacher, host and producer of Travel Channel's Bizarre Foods

"Michael Fanuele shows us how our passion and emotion will take us farther than our logic ever can. I can't convince you to read this book, but I guarantee you'll be inspired by doing so." --Beth Comstock, author of Imagine It Forward and former vice chair, GE

"This is the book we need now: a blueprint for leading with heart, passion, and imagination. Fanuele is such a fun and generous storyteller you almost don't realize that he's murdering so many small and cynical voices." --Andrew Essex, Co-founder, Plan A, author of The End of Advertising, former CEO, Droga5 and Tribeca Entreprises

Inspiring for your personal AND professional life

The narrator/author of this book is clearly so passionate about the topics of creativity and inspiration! His energy and enthusiasm are contagious. This is a driveway listen. I truly sat in my garage, listening to this instead of going right into the house! I've been recommending it to everyone who leads a team or wants to some day.
