writer's style is a little complicated, but at times becomes beautifully written thoughts, on evolution and emergence of buddism and the dalai lama, from tibet into the world. thoughtful discussion of the state of tibet under the chinese, and only dalai lama the world has known. i like the title because it reminds me of a truth of life, that present determines the future and is the open road.
i read part of it. my friend that took it never gave it back but i learned a lot from the part that i did read. i hope my friend gives it back.
very funny!! especially the part about rosy o'donnell. has helped me to understand the importance of pre-nups and i read it all on call in just a couple of hours. the co-writer to trump in this book sucks, so i ignored all his commentary, which made it a really fast read.
discusses, measures and compares the amount of trust in a society and examines link to prosperity and the amount of friction in the resulting economies. very interesting observations but a bit redundant. i need to return this book to vinod.
inspiring...and enlightening about the plight of the poor (about 1/2 the world population lives on less than $2/day). offers creative solutions to lift the world out of poverty, and the need to do so because disease and violence are the results of poverty. it also discusses the concept that human beings have a need to pursue happiness, but happiness doesn't just mean the accumlation of wealth and owership of property, but they have a greater need to be significant and make a differnce to be truely satisfied,
