Summary: All his books have helped
Like the previous reviewer I too was leading a troubled life in the mid 70's and this book was given to me by a total stranger! Interesting! Anyway I came back looking for Prather's collection of books to pass on to my daughter and found them and was delighted to find there is a couple I haven't read yet. They are timeless inspriring/enlightening reading.

Summary: Profound
Prathner's book will be on my self for years. Simplicity is beautifully profound, as are his beautiful strings of words.

Summary: I found this book very helpful
I found this and other books by Hugh very helpful when I read them over 12 years ago. I was able to work through some depression I was experiencing from my parents getting divorced. I am now sending copies to my brother, who is having a tough time. I hope they help him as much as they did me.

Summary: part of my transformation
This book was recommended to me in 1974 by a family therapist, as my estranged husband and i were involved in family and individual counseling. The ideas presented in this book helped me let go of old hurts and unhealthy ways of thinking and living. Two of Mr. Prathers books, and one by John Powell, FULLY HUMAN FULLY ALIVE, helped me to change my life totally for the better. I let go of my hurtful marriage environment, and trusted in luck, faith, and optimism to go to graduate school to get into a career field that seemed promising and a better match for me. Since that was 26 years ago, I now have the advantage of hindsight to say YES, THESE BOOKS HELPED ME GET THROUGH AND BEYOND sadness, disappointment, dullness, feeling trapped. I truly don't believe I would have made the necessary changes, had I not read Prather's ( and Powell's) books. I thank you Hugh Prather for hleping me rescue myself.

Summary: Whole, Clear & Solid Reading !
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I have an original copy from 1972 that my Mother left me in her book collection. Inside I found Mr. Prather's observations very insightful as well as some startling personal revelations I felt. This book is very well written with his honest thoughts and expressions that really give us something to think about within ourselves. I found his work to have several meanings. For anyone that decides to stay in the now and really read it, perhaps while you're in the quiet, there is a message. For anyone that doesn't come away with any sort of message from Mr. Prather's piece of written Art here, is perhaps not really ready yet or looking for it.- James D.
