Imagine a fully rational alternative to Rick Warren's religious screed The Purpose-Driven® Life. Visualize a book that takes its overall structure from the...
Luke, I checked grammar and punctuation, and couldn't see any problems, only some places where my style would have differed from yours. I liked it overall. I...
Luke, I would agree with Laure that the "you will die" needs to be cut in half. I am reading each days lesson on the day it falls, so the only thing I can add...
I also agree. The "you will die" is a nice draw into the book, but you want people to keep reading after the 4th paragraph. I think all the you will die should...
I'm not sure you emphasize the importance of my mortality enough. The biggest question I had after I read it was "Will I die?" P.S. I will hit you back with...
Luke: Here are some comments I have for Week 00. As per Phil Coates suggestion on RoR, I'm trying to read your book from a non-Objectivist perspective. Bear...

Luke: I don't have much to offer you on this week other than to say, I think this is the best of the chapter up to now. It was pretty easy to follow and kept...
The Monday (The Human Need for Meaning)section is really unclear. I think some of the language is too technical for the lay person. Also, keeping in mind that...
Folks, A list member brought this book, just published this month, to my attention: http://www.amazon.com/Reason-Driven-Life-What-Earth/dp/1591024765/ It looks...
