“I have never met Norman Bowley in person. He is what I always refer to as my pen friend from Canada — something I do not think people have nowadays. Norm’s writings have changed my life. His Friday Briefings is the highlight of our week for me, our staff at our legal firm in South Africa, and my friends and family with whom I share it religiously. His ability to hit the proverbial sweet spot week after week is unbelievable. I am certain that Norm has many giftings, but his writing is definitely testimony of a perfect alignment of his giftings. I did something right to be so blessed that my path has crossed with that of Norman Bowley.” — Charl van Rensburg, Law Firm Principal, South Africa

“I have never left him. Lord knows I have weeded down the information overload. So I keep just what I value most: the Harvard Business Review, the Wall Street Journal, the Stoic podcast, the homilies of Father Mark Thibodeau SJ, the weekly Angelus of Pope Francis — and Norm’s newsletter. All my bases are covered.” — Denis Malaket, former client and long-time reader
