This is a book that challenges me in all the right ways. It makes the book even better that I don’t agree with everything Dr. Pierce says in the book because that is the point. I don’t have to agree with him on every issue in order to enjoy this book. Seeking and Understanding fulfills its purpose. It got me thinking and challenged me to be more delicate when engaging in conversation. Highly recommend this book!
