From rear cover: "When you are...angry, depressed, anxious, tired, resentful, upset, nervous, unhappy, confused, frightened or in any way not healthy, wealthy and happy, then SCHOOL IS IN SESSION! But it's not 'school' as you remember it. This is a cook about learning, doing and enjoying that's actually fun. Really. By the time we graduate from high school, most of us have spent more than 14,500 hours in the classroom. Along the way, we learned (and promptly forgot) several million facts. But in all that time, did we learn-or even explore-the meaning of life? Did we learn how to love ourselves? Did we learn the importance of forgiving ourself and others? Did we learn about worthiness (and how to get it), the power of thoughts (and how to use them), or the value of mistakes? Did anyone teach us how to use guilt, resentment, pain and fear for our learning, upliftment and growth? Did we learn our purpose in life? If not, it's not too late. You are holding the class you've been waiting for in your hands. CLASS IS IN SESSION!"
