"Between Us" is on the shortlist of essentials to take along the trails of life's journey. It is both an exhilarating and profound work, based on a remarkable series of conversations between a wise and loving father and an inquisitive and witty son. Together they speak to each of us as individuals relating to one another-parent and child, teacher and student, peers learning mutually. Their discussions embody a deep humanity and understanding.

In searching out ways of leading a happier life, "Between Us" helps each of us to learn and grow. It heartens as it teaches, reaffirming how through a commitment to self-awareness and applying that knowledge, a person can clearly improve his or her life. Its emphasis on the basics-work, love, marriage, family and the like-provides an approach for living richly and fully here and now. This unique dialogue shows and tells how loving relationships sustain us and make for a more meaningful life. Its lessons are invaluable.
