For A Wonderful Life - Read This Book
The Thinker's Way is not only a great read but it also provides a practical guide to self-help. Most books try to help you - this one delivers. As a parent I immediately turned to Chaffee's chapters on raising the thinking child. WOW. It was amazing to find him second guessing every question that was on my mind. For parents concerned about - are they doing the "right" thing, The Thinker's Way provides a guilt free road map to being a better parent. Beyond a guide to raising kids, Dr, Chaffee outlines ways for the reader to first find out where he/she is in developing more meaningful relationships and then practical ways to make current relationships and future relationships more exciting and more fun. If I were you I would stop reading this review and order The Thinker's Way through amazon.com right now. This book will improve your life with no pain. Thanks to Dr. Chaffee for his clarity and his thoughts on how to make life more interesting. BRAVO.

A Solid Effort!
John Chaffee encourages you to reach your full potential as a critical thinker and a creative thinker. He outlines ways you can improve your thinking and decision-making processes. It covers basic background information about the psychology of thought and encourages you to develop a rewarding, well-considered set of beliefs. The author discusses and evaluates stumbling blocks to critical thought, and then offers suggestions and activities for overcoming them. Though it is probably familiar to good communicators and occasionally repetitive, this material provides food for thought especially for those who are new to critical thinking. We [...] recommend this book to those who enjoy self-help books, and who want basic assistance in improving their thinking and communicating skills.
