I had Nelson Goud as my professor for three separate classes at IUPUI in the 80's. He was a terrific professor; someone who made you think then listened to what you learned. I always felt he was more of a facilitator or fellow traveler on the path to enlightenment. We used this book in class and it may be the only one of my textbooks I still have, and use at times!

Not bad for a text book. The short articles that make up this book offer a wide range of perspectives on all different subjects related to personal growth. Each of the six sections are relevant to today and easy to relate to.
