AN eye opening, often times, gut wrenching wake up call. Well worth the effort to keep on reading, and sometimes I needed to take a few days break to digest. This book has helped me to realize what I've been doing to myself and others and why. The author does a fantastic job of bringing ancient history, recent history, modern times and myth together, to show the roots of violent behavior and why we have been at war with our own bodies. It's really about getting to know yourself again and loving yourself and others.
