Review Excerpts
Publishers weekly – January 23, 2006
“Temes employs the same probing approach he used in The Just War to explore the best way to live a meaningful life…. Drawing on sources as diverse as Aristotle and I.B. Singer’s “Gimpel the Fool,” as well as men and women who make a difference today, Temes argues for…‘helping others look good in their own eyes and finding strength and happiness in yourself by helping others feel stronger and happier’… [Temes] offers a text that probes deeply and, happily, counters the idea that self-help is only about self-advancement.”
