    			  I can see why people find such idealism attractive, this book is written with much passion.  However, that is the most substance one will find in this manuscript, and passion alone an argument does not make.

    			  The first part was interesting, but the second half was a gigantic hippy love-fest.  God meets The Secret meets The American Family Association.  This ruins what could have been a good read.

The author's beliefs make the book difficult to take seriously.  Here are a couple of examples.<br/><br/>Video games prevent world peace, page 161.<br/><br/>&quot;We consume our time with the many idolatrous activities available, such as computer games, television, Nintendo DS, PSP, PS2, and so forth.  Modern inventions all seem to favor our forgetting self-reflection.  Our culture busies itself with everything from cosmetic makeovers to reality television.  While we're operating in this mode, can anyone really expect the human condition to truly improve?&quot;<br/><br/>Cancer targets shy people, page 176.<br/><br/>&quot;What I'd seen was some correlation suggesting that cardiac disease was more likely to be a problem for the hostile-aggressive person, whereas cancer appeared to be more common to the introvert or those who held their feelings in.&quot;<a href="#" onclick="Element.hide('freeTextreview_rating55632513'); Element.show('freeTextContainerreview_rating55632513'); return false;">(less)</a></span>
