After a moving introduction that puts 50 iconic self-help authors in historical perspective, the author uses summaries of their major writings to explain dimensions of personal growth that are not often articulated. Referencing almost all the major figures from the Buddha to Daniel Goleman, this is a transformational lecture on the importance of personal growth and of making intentional changes from a secure sense of self. The work and lives of the authors are explained with touching reverence, but always with balance and perspective. Jack Garrett’s sensibilities are a great match for the elegance and importance of this self-help overview. But his pacing seems slow, and there are too many vocal gaps that interfere with the flow of the presentation. T.W. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine
