This book was great, very honest. It's all about the choices we make in life and how they can hinder us or help us move on into greater things.

Parts were hard to read, simply because they hot home. Great book though. Pretty much anything by these two guys is great.

This, easy to read book, is quite good and I found it helpful in looking at many things life throws at you. I found it at Half-Price Books in Mesa(they had a stack of them and other Half-Price Stores may have the same) priced for just a few dollars and well worth the price! I would recommend it to anyone and especially useful to those in recovery.
