[Damuzi Arun Re · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love this book, as well as part 2. It was 1992 when I borrowed my cousin's copy, I never gave it back. I am about to order one for him now, Yes I have several copies of both. It's an easy yet enlightening read. The concepts are simple to grasp and provocative at the same time. Get this book. I have brought over 20 copies since the '90s. I always pick it up to read. The eight bonus lessons are worth their weight in gold.
