I wish I had read this book 30 years ago and had assigned it to everyone under my command." --Mike Gould, Lieutenant General (retired), USAF, Superintendent USAF Academy, June 2009-August 2013 "Robert Wicks leads us on an inward exploration designed to foster our own personal journey toward enlightenment by opening the door to pathways for living and being that have always been there right before our eyes, but perhaps previously not readily accessible to us." --Jeffrey E.
