The first chapter I give 5 stars. The rest of it is rather underwhelming.

Get it!!! This needs to be in my library.
This is an awesome read. It speaks to the writer’s belief in the higher aspirations of man and woman. I think, to the soul’s innate ability for spirit...of light...before being taught other aspects.

Elements of the first chapter were surprisingly progressive for its age. The rest of the book was a hodge-podge of aphorisms and advice that is so generic in nature (and male-oriented) it is fairly useless.

Decent
The book is outdated in some regards; however, there are lines of advice which are still relevant today. Manner of writing is dry but factual and to the point.
