WHY IS THIS ON THE READING LIST FOR PROFESSIONAL STUDIES? -1*

This is such a ridiculously dull book. Ewww. As if I had to read this? Paint drying would have been more interesting...

It's not even useful or interesting. My personal philosophy definitely doesn't feel enlightened.

This book was published in 2003 but it looks like it's been published in 1985.
Just don't read it.
