As one who has NO idea what is normal, yet ...

There are a few short stories featuring animals that are sprinkled between the chapters, adding levity and a moment to escape and explore how the new information may serve you. My ...

Buy two copies
I'm purchasing my 3rd copy of this book because everyone borrows it then wants to keep it. Good read for men seeking breakthroughs in their relationships with self, family, bosses, significant others.
