The silent whispers of fate, life's wisest footprints, are clearly embedded in between words, such is the noise of the world, just the voice of silence. So it is, that this book, and the life of Socrates, will linger on in my being, shaping me the same as each passing tree of my day to day life. The books written by Millmann are always refreshing, and the tactful arrangement of happenings make for a subtle spiritual embedded story.

It's an excellent book. Truly one of the best I've ever read. Take all the wisdom, strength, etc., everything a reader could learn from the first two books, and add a lifetime of travel, education, new challenges, and more. It's a page turner; very difficult to turn down. Well worth a reader's time.
