abridged?! super short get the full book

I have the book and wanted the audible version so that I could listen to it while driving. It is incredibly short! You should get the full version, it's much better much more complete, and it will get you farther than 2 hours

Classic Wisdom

30 yrs later as appropriate now if not more so. I will share with my son in a few years. Love hearing the spoken word from Sam himself.

Recognizing the Toxic Feminine

I am grateful for the information on recognizing the toxic feminine, which put a previous relationship into better perspective.

I was expecting more, but overall a good book.
