Notes
to Myself (My
struggle to become a person) by
Hugh Prather (self-help, philosophy) (1970, 1983)
"All
I want is for you to accept me as I am."
"Yes,
and all I want is for you to accept my not accepting you."
A small volume that takes the reader on a ride of introspection.
Interesting and inspiring, good for pondering, mindful. These are
collected thoughts from the author's journal. Lends itself well to
reading in bits and pieces, thoughts about oneself, handling life,
relationships, human emotions. Put together in an unusual format with
no page numbers.
“Next
time I will ..."
"From now on I will ..."
- What makes me think I am wiser today than I will be tomorrow?”
"From now on I will ..."
- What makes me think I am wiser today than I will be tomorrow?”
“Now that I know that I am
no wiser than anyone else, does this wisdom make me wiser?”

in his Arizona home.
