- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This customer review mirrors my individual honest opinions and preferences. I wanted to mention a little something about this specific book, so I am putting in the time to write a review. I benefitted from this book. It was really an eye-opener. I was wanting to learn more about this theme anyway, so it was actually no accident that I ran into this book. I listened to it, and not to my surprise, it was exactly what I was looking for.
