"I'm not depressed but know people who are and wanted to learn more about it. The beginning is a bit weird in the long preface is all about how the reader should trust the author or the solutions he is sharing in the rest of the book won't work. Oh well, I'm off to begin chapter 1." — Feb 20, 2014 06:28AM

"I picked this up at Olympia National Park. My family and I have visited over 45 of the National Parks and I thought this book of short stories as recounted by park employees and volunteers would help me to re-live the experience I had while visiting the park that's highlighted in the stories. I've loved many of the parks and my expectations are high for this book." — Jul 14, 2016 09:19AM

"I was 75 percent done when I loaned this book to a friend who became interested when I attempted to describe it. Guess it will remain on hold until I buy a replacement or my friend decides to give it back. Lesson learned!" — Aug 03, 2013 09:23AM

“I am a conservative. We can define conservatism generally as an approach to governance that values individual freedom, personal responsibility, and moral virtue as a bulwark for that same freedom. We believe in a limited role for government, fiscal discipline, and an understanding that government exists to protect our inalienable rights, among them life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Government does not exist to end your suffering; it exists in order to create the proper structure, based on equality and justice, so that you may pursue your own happiness.”

“The common story being told by many people, especially in the outrage mob Twitter-sphere, is that their opinion is true simply because it is their truth. There is no sense of shame whatsoever in their inability to explain why they hold that opinion”

“I seek out hardship. I do not run from pain but embrace it, because I derive strength from my suffering.”
