Rating: Summary: I can relate Review: I am going through some difficult emotional growth, changes, and discovery, and this book was recommended to me by my counselor. I can relate with the Knight on many levels, and it was a refreshing, light-hearted, yet meaningful story which offers insight and hope. Definitely recommended!
Rating: Summary: This book changed my life! Review: I have read this book many times. I wish I could rate it 10 stars! Buy this book along with "Man's Search for Meaning" by Viktor E. Frankl. They will change your life too.
Rating: Summary: Men - Your Tears From Your Heart Will Save You Review: I know that every man who reads this book will see himself in this book. And I hope that they will pay close attention to this story about a man who learned that he does not have to prove to others that he is good, loving and kind.Men are traditionally taught to fight the threatening enemies; and place fragile women, who are consumed with despair, into an environment that tells the world that they are materially doing just fine. What's wrong with this, as the story demonstrates, is that this is done out of allegiance to the world first, as apposed to the man's allegiance to himself, and his family. He develops emotional, social, and spiritual armor, to the point that he doesn't know who to be fully in the moment, in the presence of others, until the price for living like this potentially costs him the very people who he claims to be providing for. In this story, the knight learned to take in the reality of life, which led him on a path to find his authentic self. He learned that he had lived his entire life trying to make everyone like him, at the price of not knowing who he himself was, in his heart. And it was not until he was able to cry tears from his heart, that his armor disappeared, and he was able to go home, and truly love his wife and child.

Rating: Summary: Great book for discovery your inner self Review: I would recommend this book to everyone. It is easy to read, in fact, one cannot put it down. It iseasy to recognize ourselves in the description of the knight.
Rating: Summary: Little Inspirational?-Yes Motivational?-No Review: It's a very cute and enchanting story, but as a self-help book it is rather worthless. It's maybe worth the money, but it's not worth your time.
Rating: Summary: Great Life Lessons Packaged in An Easy Read Review: Like many men (and I'm sure women, as well), I could relate to the knight. There are times we simply fall into the trap of trying to impress the world and, the more we do this (often, unconciously), the more the "armor" builds up around us.
The best metaphor of the book (in my opinion) was that the more self-knowledge attained by the knight, the more the armor melted away and his "true self" re-emerged.
This book could have been a very quick read, however, I just couldn't help highlighting and taking lots of notes. I plan to review this book and its awesome lessons from time to time.
Parents, please read this book . . . and pass it along to your children.
