Inspirational, involving, rewarding reading

Centering on seven great precepts espoused by this wise man, ranging from "Know Thyself"; to "Speak the Truth"; and "Strengthen Your Soul," Socrates' Way is an inspirational, involving, rewarding reading and a superbly presented reading for anyone seeking personal or professional self-improvement.

An Excellent Book!
I have been reading this book and find it helpful in the extreme. It's one of those you feel you can't put down and at the same time, you must, to consider what you'll do with what it says. Over a year ago a few events in my life caused me to stop and think about what I was really about. Not liking what I was finding, I determined an overhaul was in order. In each area of my life I began to take responsibility and stop blaming others and circumstance for things I was unhappy about. I determined to live with clear conscience, personal responsibility, and genuine compassion for those I come in contact with. Reading THE SEVEN HABITS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE PEOPLE was one of the things that caused me to ask serious questions of myself. HOW TO THINK LIKE LEONARDO DA VINCI sparked my curiousity further. SOCRATES' WAY is having a similar profound effect on me. It is quite easy to read but challenging to apply. I am grateful to the author for taking the time to make this book available. I consider it a great treasure. Any one who is genuinely serious about self improvement will benefit from reading and contemplating on what's in this book.

Nice try!
I was gonna order this book regardless the price but at the last second I have decided to read it first from my local library. And now after I have read only a few pages I am glad I never bought this book because it wasn't really that book I was expecting to be. So for people who have read a lot of self-help and philosophical books Socrates way is not a book to waste money and time on it. Trust me. Similar Products
