Quest, Inc.
The World’s #1 Personal Development Agency . . . has to prove it.

Now, as they’re followed by an investigative journalist from one of the world’s leading news publications, they have to prove it―or be damned as charlatans. Based on real life peak performance and transformational strategies, you’ll see the highs and lows everyone faces on the road to self-realization―especially the experts. Get ready for breakthrough . . . or breakdown.

Quest, Inc. is a self-help book posing as contemporary fiction. The Celestine Prophecy was the template for many books in which authors promoted their beliefs and values using a fictional narrative. But what James Redfield’s book lacked in terms of plot and storytelling, author Justin Cohen was able to make his story fun and interesting as well as enlightening.
The story starts off with a bang. Robert Riviera, America's former favorite health and fitness expert, has succumbed to obesity. Because of his downward spiral, he's literally lost everything: wife, home, money, business . . . the whole shebang . . . all because of his pesky food addiction which he can't seem to shake on his own, despite once being the country's foremost authority on health, fitness, and weight loss.
Robert's personal struggles become the impetus for his former personal development compadres to get the band back together, help their friend who has fallen on hard times, and use his renewed success story to launch a personal development agency to help others in their pursuit of personal freedom, satisfaction, and fulfillment.
This is a good book with lots of great advice. It risks being a little preachy, but Cohen balances the messages within his book with interesting and diverse characters. His personal development experts are flawed in much the same way as are the clients they’re committed to help.
Quest, Inc is a great example of authority figures teaching what they most need to learn themselves. And yet their obvious flaws do not diminish the powerful messages of the story. To the contrary, the imperfections of Carter King (relationships), Jay Lazerus (emotional well being), Alexia Redmond (image makeovers), Robert Riviera (health and fitness), and Mickey Prodi (money and finance) make the drama of the story more believable and fun.
A minor complaint is that the various client stories suffer a little from the "Dr. Phil Syndrome" which means that all of the problems the personal development experts are enlisted to assess and resolve can't possibly be dispensed so quickly, including Robert Riveria's food addiction issue. Perhaps fewer characters and more story development might have been practical given that the author has chosen a novel as the format, not a non-fiction self-help book.
The main crisis of the novel is an aggressive reporter intent on writing an exposé on the self-help experts. I didn't think this element generated a lot of excitement or angst, but I thought it was a clever device for bringing up an obvious issue which is that a lot of people just don't believe in self-help gurus.
I liked the presence of the reporter and her role in the novel. It's a good reminder that the self-help movement isn't really about the experts as much as it's about learning to help yourself. My favorite scene in the book is when the reporter learns this lesson for herself.
Quest, Inc. is an unconventional novel that is well written, edited, and digitally formatted. It has some shortcomings as a novel, but the story does flow well and it's packed with lots of great content. So in that respect, the author was smart in setting his book apart by using a fictional narrative; otherwise, this important content could have gotten lost in a sea of traditional self-help books.

Ever wondered how a self-help guru might change your life? How many self-help books have you read searching for that "something"? What if you could go to one facility and have several of the nation's best self-help gurus all help you at once?
Five such experts come together to form Quest Inc. when a colleague, Robert, fails in his own field. You see, Robert is a fitness guru who is now obese. In complete dispair, he attempts suicide. His former colleagues, part of a personal development crusade that earned them the Presidential Service Acknowledgement, come together to save their friend but realize they want to start helping people again. As Robert fights his way back, they form Quest Inc.
In addition to Robert, there's a psychotherapist, a financial guru, a man who invented the measurement known as Gross Domestic Happiness, and a beauty expert. Carter, Mickey, Jay and Alexia, respectively, all the while are battling their own issues. Then a Huffington post reporter, Victoria, enters the scene determined to sniff out the real story.
The reader is treated to a wonderful cast of characters, not just through the lives of the professionals but through the stories of their clients. There are several touching stories, but I was most impressed with the story of George, a terminally ill patient looking to make amends.
With so many characters, the stories became a bit too fast-paced for me. And I say that only because I wanted to know more about each of their lives. But because of the variety, there really is a character that will appeal to almost every reader. Plus, be warned, the book ends on a cliffhanger that will make you want to read the second book right away. I wasn't expecting it.
And I really liked how the author weaved in the reporter's blog posts and had each professional touched by something. Not one of them knew it all, and that was quite refreshing.
For any reader who likes to peek into many characters' lives and situations while also reflecting on their own life.

This was a fun book to read. It went quick too...only took me a couple of days to read it. I had trouble quitting when it was time to cook dinner.
I liked the characters. I would love to read the next book in the series.
I learned a few things about personal development too.

Did I enjoy this book: This book was good. Quest, Inc. was a quick read that had some entertaining parts in it. It was not a book that I had to read every free chance I had though.
The five main characters - the mentors of Quest - each had their own issues to work through as they helped their clients. Robert, the body builder health nut, had fallen off the wagon and reverted back to his "fat" stage. He got back on the wagon after he hit rock bottom with the help of his friends. He recognized the choices he had to make and the impulses that everyone faces. Carter, the psychologist, has issues of her own to deal with but she was the driving force behind the formation of Quest and keeping everyone together to help others. Mickey, the property mogul, was the character that I liked the least. He was very arrogant and hard to trust and like. Jay, the inspirational guru so-to-speak, seemed to be the one person in this group that got it the most - you can't make other people be what you want them to be, you have to help them be a better version of themselves. And Alexia, the beauty expert, who seemed to be the most superficial but she has a lot going on with herself and her goddaughter.
Watching each of their journeys was interesting and kept me reading. Also watching them help others (though sometimes it wasn't apparent if the help was working) was also fascinating to read. Quest, Inc. read like a self-help book in some respects, but not in a bad way.
The one thing that I did not enjoy so much was the scene jumping. It may have been the digital version that I received, but there did not seem to be many clear transitions. For example, at one point Robert was giving Victoria a tour of the Quest facility and the next paragraph he was in front of the refrigerator contemplating what to eat. These transitions made it difficult to really follow along smoothly. But, as I said, it may have been the review copy that I was given.
Would I recommend it: Maybe. It would depend on the reader.
Will I read it again: I will not. I would be interested in reading the next book in this series, though, because Quest, Inc. ended with a cliffhanger.

From the beginning, this book drew me in. Since weight loss is close to my heart (I am a former obese girl who has kept it off for several years), I was quite intrigued to read about Robert. I was on the edge of my seat in those first few pages to see if he made the right decision. No spoilers on that part from me.
There are many characters and intricate stories in this well-written tale about the self-help movement. Can people truly change? Will the change be lasting? I would say that this book would speak to anyone who has ever tried to change behaviors and lifestyles. And it is so easy to look at leaders in those movements and criticize their failures.
I was glad to read that this book dealt with more than weight loss. It deals with racism, job issues, dreams, nightmares, and living and dying. I would say that everyone can find someone with whom to identify in this book. And regardless, the principles are the same no matter what you are trying to change about yourself.
I was impressed how the author dealt with these issues of changing one's life. Since it was a secular book, it made perfect sense that one important element was missing--the spiritual element. Once in a while, God was alluded to, but this book took the normal secular view, and most of the time without God, true, lasting change is impossible. I would have loved to have seen the author put a Christian in the book even if that person were ridiculed because most self-help gurus do say the spiritual element is important.
There was some profanity, but there was thankfully no sex. I was glad to see that some of what the organization had done did help people. There were some great changes, and you could only hope those changes will continue.
The most interesting part of the book was the last few pages. I say that because the author threw a little wrench into the work that I don't think anyone saw coming. It made me very glad to see that the author is coming out with a second book in the series. I would recommend this book to just about anyone. Though not a true story, it is very realistic and speaks to contemporary issues.
I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are 100 percent mine, and I was not financially compensated.

When I first heard about this book, I thought it was a great idea! I also thought it was non-fiction, so was a little surprised that it's a fictional story, featuring fictional characters. My mistake. While it didn't have the impact I expected, it was still an interesting premise.
The story starts with the worst day of Robert Rivera's life. Rivera is a former fitness/health guru who is now obese. Evicted on the same day that his wife leaves him, he feels that he has nothing to live for. Saved by a chance meeting with a former colleague, his old friends from the President's Living Well Campaign rally around him and help get him back on track.
Encouraged by their success of helping Robert, the old friends decide to reunite in order to help others. Calling their new venture "Quest, Inc." they set out to change America, one person at a time. With five of the top experts in their fields, they set out to show that anyone can change.
While trying to get their new venture off the ground, they accept an unusual offer from an investigative journalist, who will write about the entire experience. A risky move for a new company, but a risk that could have huge benefits.
Enjoyed seeing how the experts differed in their approaches and philosophies, and liked watching them deal with their various clients. It's encouraging to see experts as human beings, as they're so often put up on pedestals and act as though they're perfect. I think I'd be more inclined to follow Rivera's health program knowing that he had faced the same struggles I have, so too bad he's fictional!
Gave this one a 3/5 rating as it was an interesting read, but didn't keep me on the edge of my seat. It's also a little outside my usual genre, but still a good story. There were interesting characters, even though some of them were not very likable, and a decent plot. Cohen can definitely write!

I read this book for Tribute Books in exchange for an honest and fair review.
This story starts out with us meeting Robert. Robert is a man that has fallen on hard times. His life is in shambles. It's to the thanks of his friends that he came back from his all time low point in his life.
Robert starts a new company with his friends, called Quest Inc. They say they can help you change your life. Sounds easy doesn't it? Of course not everything is as it seems.
While the team is helping people that hire them, they have a blog owner/newspaper columist Victoria Holt in the shadows. Victoria is out to prove that Quest Inc is nothing more than a fraud. Is she proven wrong?
This book really does make you think. No one can really truely change your life for you. You need to have the drive, and determination to do it yourself. Someone else may just simply hold the tools and way to do it for you.
Nothing in life is easy. If it's really something you want to do, you will put in the sweat and tears to make it happen.
In the end there were some that really wanted to change, and others that did not. However the change may not be what someone else expects or wants for you. You have to do what makes you happy. Do not worry about what other people think. Remember, its your life so live it to the fullest you can.

Received book from First Reads Giveaway.
At first I was confused as to whether this was a fictional book or self-help. The setup flawlessly integrates a fiction storyline while creating a non-traditional self-help book. You are reading a story while receiving a secondary book of self-help.
The story itself is enticing and inspiring. The simplicity of the writing makes it all the more inspiring.
As for the second nature of the book, the self help portion, you can definitely say you are inspired. You are inspired to actually carry out your plans, reach goals that you set but never actually get to completing. It's a message to reboot your life and reach your goals to make a better life for yourself.
The only problem is there is a difference between being inspired to change your life, and taking the initiative to actually change your life. You are inspired to do something, and that is really what this book is about: inspiration. If you are a person that can take inspiration and turn it into initiative, this is the book for you. If you cannot, go read a book that is actually a more constructive, specific self-help book.
Overall, the story is great and inspiring. It serves its purpose. As a self help book, it is only for those in need of inspiration while they are reading an actual self-help book on the side.

Quest, Inc.
features an all-star cast of self-improvement experts who have joined together to offer the complete package for those seeking self-improvement. There is an expert on fitness, a psychotherapist with a focus on relationships, a financial expert, a therapist who deals with addictions and a body language and image consultant.
The book starts out with Robert Rivera, the fitness expert, He has become fat and completely unmotivated. He has lost his home and his wife and fails at an attempt to kill himself. The other four experts know him from a presidential commission that they all served on and they re-unite to save Rivera and their own reputations (his failure throws doubt on all of their advice).
Once Rivera has his life back on track (roughly the first half of the book), the five of them start Quest, Inc. and promote themselves as the Worlds #1 Personal Development Agency. The rest of the book features a reporter for the Huffington Post who is determined to torpedo their venture because she despises the self-help "industry" and a series of clients...

Check out my full review at Kritters Ramblings
What an interesting book, that even after finishing it I am still trying to pull my thoughts together! From the synopsis, I wasn't sure if this was fiction or non-fiction and even after the first few pages, I was still a little confused. The beginning starts with a former self help fitness guy who has clearly fallen off the train that he created himself - gained weight, marriage about to fall apart and just loosing his life in general, so his former self help friends intervene and help him put his life back together.

Now I day dream of how I could lose the weight I have carried around for years. Or if I could earn more money and not always be in such a bind. Dear Hubby fights with smoking and has tried to quit several times. And we hear of the seminars and CDs to listen to that can help all of these things just melt away. Yes I do know that having positive reinforcement helps but it does not do the work. Only we can do it ourselves. But what if? Justin Cohen has had these very same talks with thousands and brings the what if to realization in Quest, Inc.
July 30, 2012
Ques, Inc. isn't really the type of book I read normally but it pretty much held me riveted from the beginning to the end. It was really interesting seeing the people who are the pinnacle of their fields in health, finance, psychiatry, happiness, etc are really just normal human beings with the normal problems and normal failings. Justin did a good job of making me become really interested in what was going to happen next, and really rooting for the people in the book.

This wasn't what I expected - It was listed as self help/how-to instead of fiction, but I quickly adjusted my expectations and enjoyed this story. Another surprise is that this wasn't a novel but the first in a series. My plan is to give the second book a shot, too, and see what else this author has written.

I did not like this book. I thought it was very unrealistic and the characters were not believable. Just did not like it and could not finish reading it.
