April 05, 2004: Once in a long while, amid the untold millions of merely clever, ingenious, entertaining, new, or unique books the world has written for any of its lesser reasons, you will find one that is piercingly and profoundly true, written only for truth?s sake. This is such a book. While simple, it is anything but simplistic. Careful reading combined with honest self-reflection and genuine efforts to be good will not just uncover many important issues, it will uncover THE issue. This book claims no new revelation on the nature of man and his morality, but it insightfully reasons upon truths the rational will see as self-evident, the religious will recognize from scripture, and the empirically-minded will perceive in the honest assessment own their own experience. Any serious attempt to explain human nature that does not incorporate the truths discussed in this book risks being fundamentally flawed and is assured to be incomplete. I wholeheartedly recommend to you this book.

April 13, 2003: Somebody once told me that the problem with most all 'self-improvement' books was that everybody else needed to read the same book in order for any change to take place. This book definitely breaks that barrier! Thoughtful, step-by-step analysis of the way we think, the sub-conscious and conscious triggers that we either act on or ignore that shape our relationships with others. And change (for the better) can always take place, because it takes place within ourselves. How we look at those we interact with changes...and always for the better. Easy to read but profound, lots of learning by example, and always better the next time around. You never stop learning (about yourself!) from this one!
