For reaching your full human potential and beyond

This book is dynamite for those who want to reach their full human potential and beyond. The author uses stimulating questions to guide one's inquiry into the way one participates in life and thereby contributes to the world. For example, "How much of our lives is patterned upon assumptions we never learned to question? How strong is our motivation to discover the knowledge we would need to give greater meaning to our lives?" As I read the book, I challenged my habitual patterning and came to new ways of knowing and being in the world. To activate the power of this book, one must read in a different kind of way. This book is for reflecting, challenging, and questioning; not for merely skimming and accepting. Sometimes I would spend days on one chapter, writing notes and quietly reflecting. In summary, I recommend this book highly for all who want to explore what it means to be a human being within the world community.
