I was blessed to know Willard Beecher
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
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!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

This book should be required reading for all people interested in becoming actual adults instead of children in adult bodies. After reading this book, its easy to identify and understand the misconceptions about life, adulthood, success, and relationships.This book helped me understand my emotional turmoil and to break away from old childish habits that held me back in all aspects of life, especially in social interactions. Very clearly written and down to earth a MUST READ, enjoy!
This book will make you reflect on everything in your life.

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!
How to grow up
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
Want to know what's really holding you back? Based on the psychology of the neglected giant, Alfred Adler, this book lays it all out. The view from here is succinct, jargon free and pulls no punches--without cheerleading, recipes, sermons or gimmicks. Pure gold.
