Incredibly provacative and engaging. Makes philosophy feel accessible even to someone new to the concepts. Timeless and very relevant to the current day and years to come.

A majority of books have a way of dragging on, but this one was different. Short and jam packed with fruit and salt. Kent shares his real world life stories and weaves that into truths based upon scripture. I especially loved the idea of how we are motivated to act or not based upon the perception of future pain/loss. Very thought provoking.
