History: Fiction or Science? (Chronology, No. 1)

Book Description

Recorded history is a finely-woven magic fabric of intricate lies about events predating the sixteenth century. There is not a single piece of evidence that can be reliably and independently traced back earlier than the eleventh century. This book details events that are substantiated by hard facts and logic, and validated by new astronomical research and statistical analysis of ancient sources.

Calculations are only as good as your numbers.......2007-08-03

Yes, we can all agree that mainstream history is nearly 100% BS due to politics, economics, ego, problems with dating techniques, and various conspiracies. Agreed. But, I've been researching the distinct possibility that human history (in terms of civilizations) are much more ancient than we've been told, so coming across this book was very interesting to me. I wondered how Fomenko could be wrong (if at all) because he is very persuasive in his presentations. Then it dawned on me. If at previous times in prehistory, due to the various catastrophies that are well documented (comets, asteroids, planetary disruptions, plasma discharge, pole reversals, etc) the Earth was in a different position in relation to the sun, different tilt on its axis, different orbit, different rotation (in terms of velocity and DIRECTION), and the continents were in different positions, then would this not cause the ancients to see the sky (constellations) differently? In other words, is Fomenko making erronious assumptions about the physics of the Earth in pre-history, which then corrupt his data with regards to dating the relevant astrology? The last event to seriously disrupt our planet occured roughly 3500 years ago, according to other good researchers, so is it possible Fomenko has been confused by this? The vastly different physics of our planet in the not so distant past may explain this confusion, which is not to say the "mainstream" version of history is correct; on the contrary. I am not an expert in these fields, but wanted to see if this idea could spark discussion.

Pants on fire?.......2007-07-19

Will people ever read before spamming? Yes, Jesuits could not rewrite world history alone, they had help. Anyway, Dr Prof Acad A.Fomenko does not point to jesuits as the driving force of world wide history manipulation in published volumes 1,2,3;, actually he barely mentions the poor devils. Check it with 'Search inside' feature, please. China is rarely mentioned either, in fact, Dr Fomenko is completely eurocentric. Right, his theory contradicts all mainstream schools of history, because in their actual state they are all built on blatantly erroneus chronology. You don't need a mysterious cabal (conspiracy) to falsify history, the falsification is its modus operandi. It is inherent to history(ians) to falsify (distort) events, as it is inherent to humans to boast as it is inherent to power (authority) to legimize itself by referrring to glorious past made to its own order. Dr Prof Fomenko and team have identified scores of instances of such manipulation in Russian, European, etc.. history, and delivered valid statistical proof thereof. His own 'reconstruction' is completely another story. Forget c14 as a valid method of dating. W.Libby has initially discovered a brilliant method of INDEPENDENT dating. Too bad, c14 method has become a joke after a forced marrige with dendrochronology with consensual chronological scale inbuilt. Radiocarbon method can't stand blind tests, but is so very productive as a rubberstamp.

Accepted History & Chronology Must Be Changed. .......2007-04-09

There is no doubt that history as most know it is a sham, & institution's version of History both University & Church is fradulent & inaccurate. Everything was established with an agenda, The real "Dark Ages" are now when we have access to incredible amounts of information past authorities & more important 'common folk' didn't have but our institutions & educators are slow to evolve because of what has ignorantly & arrogantly been taught for too long. This is on many subjects not just Chronology.

For anyone to question "Why would a Mathematician have anything credible to say of History?" The answer is from Dr. Fomenko's preface in the book: "It would be worthwhile to remind the reader that in the XVI-XVII century Chronology was considered to be a subdivision of Mathematics." These volumes could possibly be some of the most important works to date & should be read by everyone with an interest in History, especially professors & educators who have a duty to the public. I have read both books & must say that 'Chronology 1' has some very eye opening & revolutionary information. Even if these volumes are part true the implications are profound & opens the doors to further investigations & questions which must be done. I speak several different lanquages & must say the logic Dr. Fomenko uses with "inflection" of words & words being read from left to right in one region & right to left in another then written backwards, the removal of vowels & get down to basics of words, or different cities & locations having the same name etc. is correct. Vowel usage has always been optional & varied, actually complicating linquistics & study. The first thing one has to understand is that words never had a fixed spelling in history like we do now, the spelling of words was mutable & regional, as well as names & titles of people were vast, varied & changed, NOTHING WAS FIXED or understood linear. Matters of Life & Death as well as financial profiteering yesterday & today were & are made with ignorant, illogical & conspiratorial views of history & reality, it's time people get closer to the Truth & society collectively grow up.

Very Interesting.......2007-03-07

It is a good proposal and I believe it will mature into something even better in the future. I think it deserves to be read.

History as Science Fiction.......2007-01-10

Anatoly Fomenko has written a very intriguing book, full of pictures, charts, and computer 'proof' of his thesis: backwards of AD900 we don't really know what happened or when. Between AD900 and AD1600 there is more certainty, but there is still a lot of fuzzy ground, and things don't get reliable until we get past the 1600's where the printing press made it very difficult for the perpetrators of this timeline manipulation to change anything that had been committed to print. The Dark Ages did not happen. Books were burned for a reason. One organization has doubled the actual length of its existence by expanding the real chronology. Read why.

I had always wondered why Christ died about AD33 and yet men waited until the 11th century to form the Knights Templar, the Cathars, etc and go after the Holy Land by force. Why the 1000 year gap? Turns out there wasn't more than a 10-12 year gap and he proves it using astronomy. This also implies that the planet is not as old as we have been told, and current Christian and other creationist scientists are already championing that idea without being aware of Fomenko's book. The two groups, creationist scientists and the Russian mathematical analysts corroborate each other. Fascinating.

Of course, all this flies in the face of what we have been told traditionally is the 'proper' chronology of western civilization, and most readers will experience 'cognitive dissonance' in reading this book. It means that our history going backwards from AD1600 becomes progressively more incorrect and unreliable until it cannot be trusted at all... in the space of 700-800 years.

Naturally, the curious, open-minded reader will want to know WHO did this, WHY, and did any of the events we think of as really ancient ever happen?
Dr. Fomenko is a respected scientist/mathematician at Moscow State University who has already answered these questions to the satisfaction of his initially skeptical colleagues. Most of them are now believers, a few still refuse to believe (the usual diehards), and of course the western press has ignored Fomenko's work -- for obvious reasons when you read the book. The ones who perpetrated this chronology ruse have a lot to answer for. They are still with us. That's why this book is a well-kept secret.

I gave the book a 4-star rating because I was unable to check out some of his claims; those I checked were as he said. But if even 1/3 of his claims are true, this punches a big hole in what we think is our history, the meaning of western civilization, our educational process (for repeating the ruse as gospel), and the trustworthiness of the organization that perpetrated this ruse, well-intentioned or not.

This book relates to current research into a Young Earth paradigm, to John Keel's discoveries about our planet, and Fr Malachi Martin's insights (in his now out-of-print books). We are indeed sheep who are manipulated and kept ignorant -- for a reason. While knowing what these men have to say may be the "booby prize" (as in: 'what can you do with this knowledge?'), it will provide interesting reading. Didn't someone say: "...and the Truth will set you free."?? For you to judge if this book contains the truth.

Book Description

Like Dr. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross's groundbreaking On Death and Dying, Susan Anderson's book clearly defines the five phases of a different kind of grieving--grieving over a lost relationship. An experienced professional who has specialized in helping people with loss, heartbreak, and abandonment for more than two decades, Susan Anderson gives this subject the serious attention it deserves. The Journey From Abandonment to Healing is designed to help all victims of emotional breakups--whether they are suffering from a recent loss, or a lingering wound from the past; whether they are caught up in patterns that sabotage their own relationships, or they're in a relationship where they no longer feel loved. From the first stunning blow to starting over, it provides a complete program for abandonment recovery.

"If there can be a pill to cure the heartbreak of rejection, this book may be it."-- Rabbi Harold Kushner, bestselling author of When Bad Things Happen to Good People

In the tradition of Dr. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross's On Death and Dying--but dealing with the grief over the loss of a relationship
Helps readers work through the five universal phases of abandonment: shattering, withdrawal, internalizing, rage, lifting
Includes hands-on exercises for managing pain and rediscovering the capacity for love

Finally!.......2007-08-14

Finally a book that helps you understand what you are going thru and will ease your pain. I highly, highly recommend it. The best and possibly the only book on abandonment recovery I have found. If it's the only book you read on the subject it will be worth it.

Learning more each day.......2007-06-05

Very informative book on such a personal topic... I learned about ME and why I have the feelings I do on some days and react to certain situations... Can get "heavy" at times, but if healing is the end result, and total honesty is used, worth the "weight" to get the end result.. Thank you for such a new look at this topic.. Anyone suffering from a range of problems such as addictions, co dependency, alcoholism, and fears might consider this the start to their recovery... as I learned abandoment fears or the actual act ( either physical, mental, emotional) is at the root of so many of the disorders today.... Help yourself heal and help the children of those so hurt to keep healthy... Was worth it to me..

A sensitive and thought provoking book of healing and self-development.......2007-05-30

I bought this book based on a name-drop by Ken Wilber on one of his audio CDs for the Kosmic Consciousness series. Part of my job involves dealing with the bereaved, so I am aware of current sociological thought regarding the bereavement cycle of emotional release and mental readjustment, which she terms 'lifting'. What fascinated me about Anderson's approach, was a long overdue reorientation of the importance of abandonment as a driving factor in certain forms of mental illness, that has very limited cultural outlets (as opposed to bereavement). She introduces a similar cycle of emotional healing that is tailored to abandonment, and offers a variety of inspiring ways to uncover underlying pyschologies of narcissistic injury and regression. The book is easy to read, and nourishing enough to absorb more than once!! Truly, a golden nugget - cannot recommend highly enough.

Extremely helpful book.......2007-01-16

I greatly enjoyed reading this book. I think it is the best of several I looked at. It helped explain the weird emotional turmoil I went thru, over a broked heart. It has helped me overcome the problems.

A MUST READ.......2006-02-22

This book is excellent. It helps differentiate between depression and abandonment issues. Written by a psychotherapist dealing with her own abandonment, the book adds that much more validity to the subject. It always helps when readers can not only relate to a topic, but also learn that others experience similar feelings....

The Key to Life.......2006-08-17

I don't think we as human beings actually recognize the power of daily reading, meditation, and reflecting. Practicing these powerful principles allows us to remain mindful of the moment and reflect upon the deeper question in our lives. To devote ourself to a daily meditation and to journal on these quiet times is priceless and will certainly aid in the evolution of our soul. For me this practice has allowed an awakening to take place and opens my life up to all the opportunities that are available in this universe. Please give this practice a try! This book will help you in your journey of living and cultivating an active consciousness in your daily life.

Hail to the Power of Women.......2003-12-30

One of my best friends recommended this book to me last winter. She said she carried hers everywhere she went even when she traveled. It brought her peace especially after the death of her mother. It is a wonderful book for women. Each day (it's a daily reflection) offers an inspiring quote, a powerful meditation and an encouraging affirmation. The book reflects the individuality and spirituality of women and the importance of their self esteem. It's funny to me that the right words always seem to appear on the page just when I need to read them for that extra boost.

Book Description

This extraordinary book is powerfully offered by a group of teachers who call themselves Abraham. They express clearly and simply the laws of the universe, explaining in detail how we can deliberately flow with these laws for the joyful creation of whatever we desire. Abraham describes this as the time of awakening, explaining that each of us chose, with very deliberate intent, this specific time of great change to participate in this physical experience. This is an empowering, life-changing book that will assist you in seeing your personal life experience as you have never seen it before.

The breakthrough book that started a worldwide interest in Abraham-Hicks. A New Beginning I explains in simple terms the eye-opening fundamentals of living a life of health, wealth and happiness. Readers love the practical ideas of Abraham. In the tradition of Jane Robert's Seth Material, this refreshing new book reveals a unique blend of new-age thought with the Western desire for more. An inspiring self-help classic that gets results.

Still awaiting the earthquakes.......2006-10-25

This book predicted earthquakes on the eastern and western coasts, and the south, and northwestern portions of the US in 1988. Of course, it could still happen...

I have trouble grabbing the big picture and wrapping my mind around the notion we "choose to return to our physical manifestations". I see handicapped, neglected, homeless people and I wonder if an entity actually chose this?

I recently listened to a recording of one of the Abraham channelings. It was interesting. What exactly does Jerry Hicks do?

The best of the Abraham-Hicks books.......2005-08-25

A New Beginning I : Handbook for Joyous Survival is the best of the Abrahm-Hicks series and can be considered to contain the main messages of Abraham. The other books by Jerry and Esther Hicks are sequels to this edition and contain elaborative information on the teachings in this book. This book easily presents to the reader a philosophy of the creation of personal experience. Like in the Seth books by Jane Roberts, the non-physical entities repeat to us the message that we are the creators of our own life-experiences, through the constant application of the laws of the universe consciously or by default. A new beginning presents us with a practical guide on the way of creating our life-experiences consciously and deliberately the way we want. I recommend this book highly and as supplements, all the Abraham-Hicks books. I also recommend all the Seth books. As they fit together beautifully. A must to every seeker's library.

An Important Book for All.......2005-06-15

This is one of those books that can truly change your life - if approached with an open mind...

Within "A New Beginning", the author discusses the laws of the universe, and how by following these laws, one can achieve the life they want. This book is about how important our thoughts are in creating our experiences, including how they attract certain "types" of people into our lives. Exercises are also included to help you utilize these universal laws to attract those experiences/people that you DO WANT, instead of those you'd like to avoid.

It's shown that we are responsible for EVERYTHING we experience, as we are the creators of our current life experiences - therefore, it no longer makes sense to spend time blaming others for our plight. Instead, we need to figure out where we miscreated, and fix it by creating what we do want instead.

Although everything makes a lot of sense, and I can see how my thoughts have impacted my life, I still have 1 question... and that is re: the horrible experiences that some children go through - I'm uncertain as to how they brought those experiences into their lives. But I feel certain that I'll gain a greater understanding of this as I research the other works by this author further.

As a side note, the information included in this book was obtained through the channeling of ABRAHAM - a group of entities in the non-physical universe - through Esther Hicks.

Overall, I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in changing some aspect of their life; those interested in universal laws; and those interested in communications from the other side.

I would also recommend that you read "The Power of Intention" by Wayne Dyer, as this is another excellent book on the power of our thoughts, and how we can literally change our life by changing our thoughts.

Universal Truth.......2004-09-20

This book is one of the many books that speak of the Universal laws and Truths of manifesting. I was quite disappointed by one of the readers who reviewed this book and implied at the end of the review that this material could have possibly been plagerzied by a well known spiritual and motivational teacher. Universal laws and truths have existed throughout the ages and the truths are uncovered on a soul level when the spirit is ready to receive them. They are not the discovery or copyright of solely one individual. Source has many methods and many mouthpieces, each bringing and teaching Truth in their own way.

As with many other books on the laws of manifesting, this book adequately outlines the universal laws and gives some great insights. What sets it above most of the others is that it provides non-abstract methods to actually apply these laws without alot of the new age lingo. I also really enjoyed its reading format - sometimes the smaller print books can bother the eyes!

Enjoy this fabulous book. I would also definitley recommend A New Beginning II.

Take what is useful and leave the rest.......2004-01-03

I found this book a little murky especially when I got to the earth quake prediction (a date that came and went already). If you are new to channeled material (like I was) I would not recommend this book or its follow up of A New Beginning II.

If you are interested in Creative Manifestation try Sanaya Roman.

Book Description

This is an uplifting book that strikes a chord with the very core of your being. Written by Abraham-Hicks to assist you in understanding the absolute connection between your physical self and your inner self, Abraham puts this physical life experience into perspective as they explain and define who we really are and why we have come forth as physical beings. This book is filled with processes and examples to assist you in making a deliberate conscious connection with your own Inner Being, that you might find the awesome satisfaction with this physical life experience that can only come once this connection is made.

A New Beginning II contains uplifting new material from Abraham including Law of Attraction, Law of Allowing, and the effective use of your Guidance System. Includes questions and answers from live workshops, affirmations, and powerful processes for increasing your ability to intentionally create whatever you want.

Like the book before it, A NEW BEGINNING II is clear, practical, inspiring and empowering with more focus on how to realign with your Inner Being. The bottom line for Abraham-Hicks is to choose to feel good in every moment. From that base of joy you will naturally and easily create what you want for yourself and the world.

A fantastic detailed guide.......2004-07-23

I have read many books like this (Seth, etc.) but the difference withi this book is that it is focussed on giving the reader specific exercises, along with examples and instructions, on how to "consciously create" your world.
The changes are almost immediate, since you are actually changing your thoughts on a minute by minute, day by day basis.
I have recently read Wayne Dyer's book, "The Power of Intention", which, as another reviewer stated, is very similar and draws upon this heavily. However, this material, possibly because it is coming from non-physical beings, is more succinct, clearer, and more comprehensive.
As Abraham says (I am paraphrasing): there is a small and growing number of people on earth who know that they create their own reality. Of those, there is an even smaller who are looking for the mechanisms of how to do this. It is this latter group for whom the book was written.
If you already know that you create your own reality, but want to know how to change the way you do it, and refine your methods, then this book is for you.

The book provides a whole new perspective towards life.......2003-11-18

The material that ABRAHAM presents resonates with Seth's materials. With easy to understand examples and analogies, ABRAHAM explains to us how we are indeed the creators of our lives and that our natural state is well being. The way that ABRAHAM presents the material is casual and can be applied practically and easily. ABRAHAM also provides fun little "games" (processes) that we can do everyday to enhance ourselves and how to become a deliberate creator (to take control of our lives).

Though is book has 278 pages, the later half of the book is actually consisted of Q&A from group sessions. Thus many of those covered topics are quite relavant to situations that we may encounter in real life. An issue of Jerry/Esther Hick's quarterly journal is also incorporated, which occupies around 40 pages.
Reading this book is definitely refreshing.

Nothing More Than Feelings...........2003-03-31

New Beginning II is a great explanation of the surprisingly revolutionary concept that it is our feelings and emotions that really "create our reality". Most new thought books rightfully stress the importance of thoughts, however, the overwhelming number of thoughts we have are the by-products of our emotional responses to what we perceive. New Beginning II clearly explains how to deliberately change these emotional responses, creating feelings, that in turn will cycle back to the kinds of thoughts we have to have in order to produce the positive feelings, which in turn will reproduce the positive thoughts we need to create the reality we desire. Think of New Beginning II as sort of "Seth Material dumbed down", it's less intellectually challenging than the Seth Material, but no less effective. I also find it interesting that Jerry and Esther Hicks proudly acknowledge the significance of the Seth Material and Jane Roberts...this is a positive reflection of the Hicks' ethical integrity-unlike the legions of New Thought authors who have been ripping off Seth/Jane for years, the Hicks' are honest about their spiritual heritage.

THE manual for conscious creation........2001-05-31

This book contains and further elaborates on most of the information given in the first book (vol I) except the planetary alignment stuff. The information in this and volume I is extremely practical information, as opposed to very theoretical. Again like volume I this book gives you the mechanics of conscious creation and how the universe works to bring things into physical manifestation. This book gives back meaning by showing you every thought you have has an impact in your life and the life of others. This book can show you why your life is a product of your thoughts and beliefs. If I was given the choice of only one book it would be this one.

The Most Life Improving Form of Thought Available.......2000-12-12

Great book! Great philosophy! Buy it and hundreds for your friends if you are ready for this advanced thought. This book served as a summary of the many Abraham-Hicks audio tapes I have listened to over the past year. I too have read hundreds of books on philosophy, metaphysics, new age, religion, self-help and this is the best in terms of practical ways to create a wonderful life for yourself. Also, great explanations on how our Universe works by a group of wise non-physical teachers. Read it and try not to get happier.

Nice Guide for Beginners.......2007-06-16

The author writes a nice overview of the entrepreneurial process. It's basically for novices but it does a good job for this audience. The only problem I have with this book is that it is too basic and is therefore non-unique because it is so low-level. Regardless, I must say that for the right audience, it does a fine job over giving the big picture.

If you are advanced or aspire to become advanced, I would recommend "The Startup Company Bible for Entrepreneurs" but only for high-tech entrepreneurs. Even this author has recommended it.

A Must-Have for Entrepreneurs.......2007-05-14

Steven gives great illustrations to drive home his insightful advice for entrepreneurs. As he's "been there, done that," we can take his advice to heart in the hopes of becoming a success like him!

This is a delightful little book that contains a wealth of useful and helpful information and ideas on starting a small business and ensuring that it is viable and succesful. The book is well written and easy to follow and interesting to read.

This is a must read for entrepreneurs, particularly budding ones as the information the book provides is very practical and can help you avoid making costly errors. The book covers a wide range of topics including the start-up process, marketing the business on a small budget, cash-flow forecasting, among other things.

The book is an excellent companion for the entrepreneur that is well worth having.

Invaluable advice for the budding entrepreneur.......2007-03-04

This book does a terrific job of presenting some of the most important issues entrepreneurs face when embarking on new ventures, touching on topics such as the business plan, funding, team building, and cash flows. Using simple, yet stunningly accurate models of the entrepreneurial process, Steven Gold distills complex subjects into simple, practical, take-away messages. The classification of entrepreneurial personalities (professionals, pragmatists, and inventors) is something I think we can all relate to. I find the metaphor which compares building a new company to making "stone soup" equally compelling. There are countless books out there for budding entrepreneurs, but this one is no fluff. It gets right down to the nuts and bolts so you can concentrate on your business.

Sage Advice, Balance with Prayer.......2006-06-01

During the first year, the new pastor and congregation set the tone of their ministry partnership. They establish enduring patterns of relating to God and each other. Kennon Callahan here offers sage advice to pastors and congregations beginning together, or attempting to remedy a poor start by beginning again. I recommend this book highly. In fact, I incorporated some of Callahan's insights into a devotional book for new pastors and church members to read during their first 12 months together. Jesus began his public ministry with 40 days of prayer (Matthew 4), so you may wish to check out "Welcome, Pastor: Building a Productive Pastor-Congregation Partnership in 40 Days." Starting well deserves your careful, prayerful attention. Callahan writes, "How you begin shapes how you continue and where you end."

A Great Guide and an Easy Read.......2006-05-05

During a recent pastor's coffee in a state far from my own, I asked for advice as I prepared to move to new churches and a very different situation from my previous pastoral experience. Dr. Jim Carpenter lent me his copy of this book (I have since purchased my own)with a stern warning to return his copy. After reading, I understand why. The book is full of friendly annecdotes all pointing away from the stepping-stone and mega-church model back into the mission-oriented church we all dreamed of at seminary.

The narrative style runs through the book, but Callahan doesn't stop with annecdotal information. He makes clear and convincing arguments for doing certain things certain ways - much of the advice goes against the words of wisdom offered me at my last church. The words are well measured and warm in tone.

You'll finish the book on a quiet Friday... but you won't be finished with the book and its ideas for many months. Buy it, enjoy it, and try it out!

A New Beginning for Pastors and Congregations.......2000-04-30

Kennon Callahan is well known for his previous books and consulting work. This latest book is aimed at helping pastors who are starting out in a new congregation or pastors and congregations who want to renew their relationship. Callahan has a fresh focus for this reader. So many of the church experts today urge pastors to focus on the problems of their new congregations. Callahan insists that the key to an effective ministry is an early focus on relationships. He describes how a new pastor should plan the first three months around key visits to regular worshippers, shut-ins and hospitalized. He also has suggestions for getting quickly involved in the community, scouting out the church's mission field, developing a team of leaders and setting goals. The best thing about Callahan's approach is his gentle and confident attitude and the flexibility of his advice.

If you are starting a new venture...this is the book for you.......2002-02-20

I've loved this book so much that besides having a copy of my own , I've given this book to people as gifts when they have life changes from a new job, or total career change, or a new baby, or a new home or new marriage. It is so good to know that though you may not know what the next step is in your journey or where the road is going to lead or turn, that you are not alone and that Jesus Christ is walking beside you every step of the way. He's leading you and guiding you through mountains, hills, valleys and streams. READ THIS BOOK !!! You won't be sorry and you'll discover your own joy in the journey.

It is an excellent book for people with new beginnings........1999-05-20

Great book. I bought two of them. One for my brother who is about to get married and one for my sister-in-law-to-be, who just excepted Jesus Christ as her Savior.

For anyone starting new this is the encouragement you need........1999-04-01

I received this book when I graduated from high school and I was on my way to college, and it was by far the most precious gift I received. I laughed, cried, but most of all, I felt totally and completely loved! Max Lucado brings simple every day problems, concerns, and fears and shows that in everything God is there to love and encourage us, as only a Heavenly Father can do. What an awesome thought!

Wonderful gift or anyone in need of a map for the journey.......1998-11-28

I highly recommend this book to anyone who is seeking the true nature of the Father. Max has done it again, his words are clear, his meaning concise...to the point. This isn't simply a book for a graduating teen, it is a book for anyone in need of a roadmap for the journey. I read this book in the course of an hour today, at the mall, while my husband Christmas shopped for me, and I walked away renewed. You will go back to this book again and again!
