Summary: Life Fundamentals
Review: A friend gave me this in the 80's and every so often I pull it out and re-read it. It focuses on the fundamentals of human behavior and emotion with a clarity that I have not seen elsewhere. For those who are willing, it enables you to look straight at your problems and shows you how all problems arise from a set of misconceptions. It is easy to start changing your thinking because the errors are so basic. The content of this book is profound. I have not found a better book for getting focused and back on track when in emotional pain.

Summary: I was blessed to know Willard Beecher
Review: I first read this book 30 years ago. I am still reading it! Its' words cut like a two edge sword through all self delusion. It helps to bring the reader back to a realistic, "doable in the now" approach to life. I don't think I've ever read another book that was such a bitter pill for my ego and yet the positive effects on my life are still occuring. I knew Willard and he embodied the principles he wrote about. He somehow transmitted peace and serenity to whomever was in his presence. I still to this day use him as a standard from which to judge myself. Because words without the embodiment of their meaning are worthless. I not only highly recommend the book I recommend reading it as many times as necessary to find that place inside you that Willard describes in the introduction of the book as the eye of the hurricane where the sun is shining and the birds are singing!

Summary: I was blessed to know Willard Beecher
Review: I have read and re-read this book since 1971. It was given to me by a friend in paperback form. The price of that paperback is laughable when compared to the content of the book. I would consider this book must reading for all adults seeking to become mature individuals. The book gives much food for thought on getting past the many little hurts in life, and helps one understand our own behavior patterns. I would say that this book requires the reader to have a fairly high awareness level. I was just happy to see that the book could be re-ordered since I've worn the cover off of the paperback.

Summary: This book will make you reflect on everything in your life.
Review: I originally found this book in the basement of my local public library doing volunteer work. It consumed me as much as I consumed it. It redirected my life and after reading it I felt better and clearer about every decision I made. It has changed me for the better. I can't wait to rediscover it again. (I'm ordering it again!) I only wish I could thank Willard and Marguerite Beecher myself. Enjoy!

Summary: Don't be a jerk; Do us all a favor and read this book
Review: Well Well. The greatest book for those that can't find good feedback; and those hopelessly lost in self-help mantras and the like. Before you give me a story, realize that I see it as such. I hate stories! I can't care! Understand that you are trying to get a free ride; avoid paying your share (our national pastime?) and blaming others. You Lose! Read this book and see the ugly truth!
