It took me quite a while to finish this book (as I felt that every line should be highlighted) such that when I finished, I felt that I should start reading it from the beginning again. But I won't (just yet) as there are other Feuerstein books to get to! Reuven Feuerstein and his work is astounding and I wish it were better known and could help more people. I'm keen to get started using the instruments! ❤
