Customer Reviews
THE book for those who sincerely seek a deeper understanding
This book was recommended to me by a very wise man. It is definitely only for those who SINCERELY seek a deeper understanding of what it is to be an AUTHENTIC human. It is geared toward men who, for too long, have suffered under an illusion of dominance, and as a result, have paid the high price of alienation from who they really are. Those few who gave a negative review are obviously too deep into their own delusion to see the value in authenticity. Should be mandatory reading for every male at age 20, 30 and again at 40!
A mindless compendium of Pop Psych and Pop Philosophy
In all honesty I did not find one original or insightful thought in this over-ripe, and cliche ridden Pop Psych manual. There are no answers, here, for the troubled man of the 90's.
A friend, who has some real behavioral and interpersonal problems recommended it. I hoped to gain some insight into his conflicts by reading this book. I fail to see how it could help him. He had better look elsewhere.
The one star is just a courtesy from one health provider to another.
Great, but Poderous Intoduction
Wonderful Book. A bit disjointed. It takes Keen two chapters to establish guit. But the rest of it is worth the effort. It is a good read. And it has some shocking answers for us that are "Still Looking"
