    Good book

    I read this when I was a teenage and enjoyed it very much. I reread it several times. I still have my original book from 26 years ago.

    startling and provocative

    a rare gem... most authors are engrossed in the incessant need to speak from a lofty perch for the sole reason of trying to impress the reader. Hugh Prather doesn't believe in using this approach. He refuses to be anything else but brutally honest about his shortcomings, his most recent thoughts, his aged and haunting problems, and his struggles to find the courage to continue to embrace his own fears. This is perhaps the most human book I have ever encountered. Never have I read something as painful, joyful, reassuring, and enlightening as this. Prather's intention is obvious... he had made a conscious decision to dig deep into his own soul to extract the essence of who he was. He needed to embark on this journey of admitting everything to complete the circle. If the reader found comfort in his words then I feel Prather would be gracious, but I think it's rather obvious that his intent was for self-gratification... an attribute that is missing in much of what we expose ourselves to. I feel his title 'Notes To Myself' is so overwhelmingly truthful... if self honesty is your focus then its effect is contagious.
