informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

Reading self-help sucks. It’s enlightening and broadening , but oh, I wish it would be over soon.   Like ascending a ladder, I find it to be equally entertaining and taxing; each step is fascinating in and of itself, but the ladder itself is not.

 My favorite quotation is:
Some day, in the years to come, you will be wrestling with the great temptation, or trembling under the great sorrow of your life. But the real struggle is here, now … Now it is being decided whether, in the day of your supreme sorrow or temptation, you shall miserably fail or gloriously conquer. Character cannot be made except by a steady, long continued process.

- Phillips Brooks

 Just a little remark. There isn't a single inspirational statement from a woman in the entire book, though.
