Is It Ok To Mention Someone Elses Work In Your Book?
I have a book on Amazon. Is it ok to acknowledge someone else in a positive way? Let's say my book is about fitness.
In the acknowledgements page, besides my professors, I acknowledge youtubers who have influenced my knowledge. " I'd also like to send a nod of recognition to the people who have influenced me outside the classroom. " then I mention 5-6 influencers.
I also, in one or two chapters, say something like "if you want to know more about this specific topic, I highly recommend you look up this person. They are the best in this field"
Is this legally ok?

Answers
Of course it's OK. You're neither defaming them nor breaching their copyright and I can think of no other reason why there could be any constraints upon giving them a mention.
