Summary: SOCRATES WAY FOR HIGH SCHOOLS
Comment: SOCRATES' WAY is immensely intelligent, yet user friendly; informational, yet inspirational. I am a devoted fan of Ron Gross's PEAK LEARNING, yet this latest read is something that I have been personally looking to discover for some time now. As an owner of an educational resource service, I'm always searching for books that I can recommend which will educate students in a subject area, while simultaneously instructing about important life values.
I have added SOCRATES' WAY to my latest resource guide, and will recommend it highly to educators from high school through college. The book is one that will be enjoyed by anyone, yet I can see how it would greatly assist in teaching today's learners about living well, through an accurate understanding of Socrates, himself.
I found it personally interesting, as the beginning chapter which is to "Know Thyself," is similar terminology that I have chosen for the opening in my most recent catalogue. Similarly, Ron Gross writes of "Strengthening Your Soul" toward the end of the book, which I have likewise placed in the conclusion of my catalogue resources. I found this placement of content to flow in a very fitting manner, both professionally and as an interested reader. It isn't difficult to envision students and teachers dissecting each chapter, step-by-step, resulting in each individual being able to "Know Thyself," which is what we aspire to as the end result of education.
It was enlightening to read the forward by Michael Gelb, author of HOW TO THINK LIKE LEONARDO DaVINCI, which is also one of my favorites to recommend, for similar reasons. Admirers of "LEONARDO" will most definately find SOCRATES' WAY to be a most enriching resource. You'll want keep it on your bedstand to gain inspiration, as well as give copies to the special people in your life. A must read!!

Summary: An Excellent Book!
Comment: I have been reading this book and find it helpful in the extreme. It's one of those you feel you can't put down and at the same time, you must, to consider what you'll do with what it says. Over a year ago a few events in my life caused me to stop and think about what I was really about. Not liking what I was finding, I determined an overhaul was in order. In each area of my life I began to take responsibility and stop blaming others and circumstance for things I was unhappy about. I determined to live with clear conscience, personal responsibility, and genuine compassion for those I come in contact with. Reading THE SEVEN HABITS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE PEOPLE was one of the things that caused me to ask serious questions of myself. HOW TO THINK LIKE LEONARDO DA VINCI sparked my curiousity further. SOCRATES' WAY is having a similar profound effect on me. It is quite easy to read but challenging to apply. I am grateful to the author for taking the time to make this book available. I consider it a great treasure. Any one who is genuinely serious about self improvement will benefit from reading and contemplating on what's in this book.
