    Photo courtesy of allaboutgeorge "The purpose of learning is growth, and our minds, unlike our bodies, can continue growing as long as we live." ~Mortimer Adler The first time that I started to hear a book instead of reading it was with the material from Anthony Robbins.

    Opening of the Book-Club Awakeblogger, Books & Reviews, Mind & Emotions | (0)
