Review # 1 was written on 2017-03-14 00:00:00 Zane Robb I wouldn't have read this on my own but it was a decent book for a small group discussion. It might be a bit too intense for a group that didn't already know each other pretty well. There are many good exercises designed to get the reader thinking more deeply about their life, goals and dreams. If I was more disciplined about actually doing the exercises, I would have gotten more from the book. He illustrates his ideas with many good stories. Some of the stuff in-between the stories was on a different plane than the one on which my brain operates, but I'm glad we read it.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-01-30 00:00:00 Yoshi Rio This is a wonderfully rich book on spirituality. However, I cringed at the inaccurate comments that the author made regarding Freud and psychoanalysis. A talented rabbi and philosopher does not an analyst make.
