Reviews for How Should I Live My Life?
George Howard is one of the most insightful people in the broad field of contemporary psychology. I always benefit from reading his work, and this was a deeply moving experience for me. In this book, Howard's wisdom and understanding of a balanced and rational life call softly and persuasively to the reader from every page. With every chapter dawns a greater and more complete vision of a world we would be proud to pass on to our children.
