Review Quotes

"The Midwest Book Review" called the book, "A fascinating and involving read that embraces the classic wisdom of Socrates himself when he said, 'Know thyself, for once we know ourselves, we may learn how to care for ourselves, but otherwise we never shall.' 'Knowing Yourself' is an especially commended addition to Self-Help/Self-Improvement reading lists."
