Another thought provoking book by Tournier

In his usual style, Dr. Tournier takes the time to develop his subject matter very thoughfully, thoroughly and compassionately. In this book, he contrasts the events and dynamics that lead some to become "weak" and others "strong". The compelling truth he reveals is that ultimately, we may act very differently but we are so much the same in our inner selves. A great book equally helpful for "strong" leaders to understand themselves and those they may be tempted to look down upon, as well as for those who struggle with self-doubt and insecurity, intimidated by the "strong"; also good for couples to gain insight into each other and how these common dynamics may play out in their relationships.
