I bought this book 25 years ago, read it, was helped by it, lent it to a lot of friends, and one of them never returned it--don't remember which one. The most important piece of advice was to love yourself as you are, and if you can't, then love yourself for not being able to love yourself. Wait--I remember one other liberating principle:when you are sad or angry you are adding just as much sadness and anger to the universe as if you make someone else sad or angry. I'd like to see this book back in print so that I can re-remind myself of what Thaddeus Golas reminded me of. Note to publishers: this is an important book; it's as profound as Krishnamurti, Osho, Gurjiev, anyone, and much easier to read. Please reissue it.
