“Greg’s inspiring story shows us that happiness is our choice. Rather than let his circumstance keep him down, Greg persevered through what could have easily been seen, at the time, as an insurmountable obstacle. His book Three Points of Contact: 12.5 Ways to Jumpstart Your Life and Weather Any Storm, will give you the guidance to live a more abundant and fulfilling life.”

“I read Three Points of Contact twice in the last two months. Greg’s story provided me with great perspective as I was in the hospital recovering from open-heart surgery. A few un-anesthetized weeks later, I enjoyed the tangible tools as I planned my next year (and years!).”

“Gregory Cheek is one of those rare individuals who always gets up after being knocked down. Military veteran, marathoner, college professor, cancer survivor. In Three Points of Contact: 12.5 Ways to Jumpstart Your Life and Weather Any Storm, he examines what it takes to overcome adversity and build a life of purpose and gratitude. In the classroom, he’s forever changed the lives of students; with his book he may change yours, too.”

“Have you ever met someone and known for a fact that God Himself put this person in your life to teach you something? To make you stronger? To make you grow? Greg Cheek embodies everything good about humanity. I refer to him as “The Gentle Giant”.
No matter what you are facing or have faced in life, there is hope. Greg had deepened my belief in hope and trust. No excuses and no doubt.
I am honored to be a part of his world. His dedication to his practice and battling cancer have been instrumental in our growing friendship. Greg, I thank you for your courage and your example. This book has changed the way I love. Life is precious and deserves to be cherished. You taught me that. Thank you for telling your story and sharing this journey with us. Whoever is blessed to read your words will know that they have been in the company of greatness.”

“Greg has been cancer-free for almost 5 years now, and he never misses his follow-up visits. He is one of the most positive people I have ever met, and he says dealing with cancer made him reassess his priorities, spend more time with family, be thankful for every new day and live his life to the fullest. I enjoy hearing about his travels and seeing his pictures running countless marathons. Greg Cheek always carries good word about University of Kansas Medical Center wherever he goes, and many of my patients benefited from talking to him and hearing his story. I hope all our future medical visits will be nothing but check-ups and conversations about weather and family, not about cancer! I hope readers of Three Points of Contact will get to know Greg Cheek better and be inspired by his resilience…”

“Greg is a true inspiration of following your truth using Hatha yoga Asansas, an Un Orthodox method of healing. I witnessed him re-energizing his entire body and mind through Yoga Asana. Once that yoga light enters, negativity cannot stay. He reclaimed his strength, courage, patiences and belief that won his fight against cancer. I was very blessed the day Greg walked through my doors at Bikram Yoga Kansas City”
Angela Sinclair Moulin

“We call Greg ‘The Beast’, because he exudes strength, dedication and mad love for life. This man is high on life, even on bad days Greg always has a smile on his face. One of our very first students at our now 2 year old Yoga Studio, he has grown with the studio and his practice of Yoga. He is an inspiration for so many of our students and teachers who know his story. He shows us the perfect example of “Life is Beautiful” when you make the choice of practicing self compassion each day to honor your body.

“When I met Greg, it was half way around the world in Stuttgart Germany but the journey didn’t truly begin until I got to know him and his story. His spirit and light are infectious and must be experienced! His passion, positivity and energy, exemplifies true inner strength that is balanced with flexibility and fluidity for any challenge life may bring. These qualities were only enriched through his Bikram Yoga practice and in service to others. I’m excited the rest of the world will finally share in HIS magic!”
