This is the first comment I've ever placed. If there was ever a book I would support it would be this one. The book, in its value towards my life, has well exceeded its purchase price. I highly endorse it. He packs so much into it that I suggest it be read several times, attacked with highlighters, and underscored with pens, pencils, and crayons. There is a saying, "When the student is ready, the teacher will appear". Well...for many people (who want to improve their sense of self esteem) Nathaniel Brandon is that teacher. As Siskel and Ebert used to say "Two Thumbs Way UP!!!". Aloha
