These folks are frozen by habit, awash in sadness, stuck in judgment and blame, trapped by anxiety and fear, swamped by anger, and undone by lies in their head, believing themselves to be worthless, weak, or stupid. They find themselves alone and unable to connect. Some people are more fortunate.

They have not discovered a singular method to recognize how the lessons of Life are designed nor how to learn them. They are confused because life remains a mystery. WHAT'S THE BOOK ABOUT?
