In any event, the book is an
effective conversation piece although I have serious reservations about using any quotations without
prior knowledge of context. It is quite conceivable you will be perceived as a dilettante, and if
you are truly honest with yourself, potentially a fraud. If you cannot be well-read, I suppose
faking it is the next best thing. On the plus side, the CD is an effective cure for insomnia.

At
the risk of self-fulfilled prophesy, Mr. Shanahan's opening salvo from Edith Wharton says it best:
"There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it." I'm
reasonably certain he and I hold contrasting interpretations of her inference.

This book, along with the bonus CD, makes
a wonderful addition to any personal development library. It is full of wisdom from the ages and
also includes a lot of colorful cultural proverbs which I used often in writing my relationship
book.

Anyone who has a problem with this book is precisely the kind of person who needs it the
most.

Enlightened people will see the immense value in this book immediately.

The CD also adds
tremendous value to the purchase of this book.
