Wow. Wow. and Wow!

Basically Wood summarizes "To reaffirm that life in not about the selfish search for pleasure but about the contendedness that comes from hardship, duty, love and sacrifice."

This book was origianally written 1983. This is the type of literature that would warrent one to get drawn-and-quartered. Wood basically says neurosis is about the notion of evil; and the field confuses evil with disease.

12 Step program is a $6 billion dollar industry. Wood is not making any friends in that field. He says that like Valium and Cocaine, talk therapy is addictive. a passive "patient" prostrate at the feet of the "healer," suffering the psychological pain of guilt as he learns to like himself less.
