What reviewers have said about The Camino Way.

“Boost your career with the best business books of 20017… On the back of the passport, which is used to get stamps as each stage of the walk is completed, (Prince) noticed seven simple reminders of things pilgrims should do while on the Camino, which he used as the framework for his book The Camino Way, since they applied to work as well…. You don’t need to walk the Camino to take those lessons into your own life.

— Harvey Schachter, The Globe and Mail, Canada’s largest newspaper

“Prince’s is both a highly engaging story and a remarkably effective way to communicate business lessons… In this first-person narrative, Prince recounts his adventure, but unlike the typical travel diary, The Camino Way brilliantly draws continuous connections between the Camino, which started as a religious pilgrimage hundreds of years ago, and contemporary business leadership.”

“One of 6 books to read this month for a healthy dose of motivation… A leadership consultant and speaker, Victor Prince was a hard-driven and competitive businessman when a friend challenged him to undertake the 500-mile walk. By the end, he had become relaxed, kinder and more effective. He shares his insights and applies them to seven important leadership lessons.”

— SUCCESS Magazine, serving small business entrepreneurs  

“Drawing on personal experiences and interviews with nearly 100 other pilgrims, Prince clearly and deftly blends his travelogue with management advice in the form of “seven simple leadership lessons.” He also provides a “How to Do This at Work” section for each lesson. getAbstract recommends this captivating read to armchair travelers and to those seeking to enhance their leadership skills through personal growth.”

“Prince’s newest, The Camino Way: Lessons in Leadership From a Walk Across Spain, distills insights from his trek along the Camino el Santiago—an ancient 500-mile-long road traversed by pilgrims for centuries—into tangible business strategies.”

— Chicago Reader

“4.5/5.0 stars – The mystical power of the Camino de Santiago is captured in a provocative way by Prince in this part-travel, part-leadership lessons book… Undoubtedly readers will be inspired by Prince’s expedition and perhaps will even ponder their own Camino discovery. The Camino Way is a unique perspective for a leadership book, and readers will be stimulated to be more thoughtful about their own lives, as well as those that they lead.”

— Portland Book Review

“The author of this interesting, unique book is an experienced executive and consultant. In this very clearly written book, he explains what leadership is from traveling on foot 500 miles across the Camino de Santiago in northern Spain and talking to people along the way… It is appropriate for undergraduate and graduate business students as well as managers of for-profit and nonprofit organizations.”
