Self-awareness, Reflection
“Hello Brian: I came across your site by chance (or was it chance?) and I think that it is fantastic. Why? Well because I think that the underlying concept, as I see it, is something that is very much needed in current times. Hard working, time pressed folk just can't devote the hours necessary to work their way properly through all the books you refer to. And I am not at all convinced that any sort of "speed reading" techniques would help to absorb in full the original content of all your enclosed texts. It's just great to be able to download a MP3 and listen to the 20 minutes or so of "distilled wisdom" per book last thing at night on my iPod. The way I see it you have compiled the musical equivalent of a "Greatest Hits" compilation from the philosophy domain. Plus I think that US$20 is very, very good value. May the powers that be give you the strength and inspiration to continue your important work.”
“Some of these books I have read, many I have not. This is a great way to preview an author and his/her ideas then deciding whether to pursue their book or not. Especially those that I may not have come across before or ones that I may have discounted without really having a good understanding of their message/wisdom. This is great service that you are providing me!!!”
"O, happy the soul that saw its own faults." ~ Mevlana Rumi
