Editorial Reviews

There is a simple brilliance to what, at first, appears to be complicated calculus and within 2 pages of generously spaced text, using a standard font and non-scientific words, Jeff Banman offers a powerful tool to plan and navigate our futures and ways to mine our past. He gives us a tool to better accept, unpack, understand, appreciate, and learn from our personal and professional paths taken. Both our own and the paths of those who built us.
