This guy was brilliant. This one's just a bunch of short phrases and such, but I'll keep reading his work.

I don't know what evil spirit of boredom possessed me to want to read this book, but I feel that it was not worth the time it took to blaze through the pages. The "handbook" contains a series of lectures given by Lester Levenson, later transcribed by the gentleman Levenson left in charge of the preservation of his teachings. Without knowing how Levenson sounded when he spoke, the presentation of the transcript comes across as a bunch of one liners, and did not saying anything I hadn't heard before. It was like reading fortune cookies, one after the other. The subject matter was addressed fine, but there was really not much to chew on when all was said and done. I felt myself saying after each section: "Yeah, and then what?"

Unless you had some connection with Lester and his followers, I recommend that you search elsewhere for a self help book that is geared towards actually helping in a sensible way. Not that there is anything inherently wrong with anything printed in the book, I just know that there are far more detailed "handbooks" out there that serve the need much better.

Nice inspirational book. I utilize it as a thought for the day book.
