This first edition of this book was published in 2003. 

Over the intervening time, several discoveries have been made, which are surprising, even to the author. 

As you will see below, open this book to any poem and read it, you will know if this book is for you.

If it is, then you will be amazed.  The uncanny ability of the book to touch on subjects so close to your heart, it is like it is able to read your thoughts.  How is it so?  Not even the author can answer that question.  All he knows is that, it works, and works every time.

Of course, no book is for everyone, and so is the case, with this one.  If you do not immediately connect with the book, please put it back, as it is not for you.

If you do connect to what is written, then you are in for a treat.  Experience has shown that this book has a wonderful ability of bringing clarity to your life, and helping you to understand where you are at, in your own life.

It has also been found that this book crosses cultures and can be easily read by anyone who knows how to read just simple English (with an occasional look in a dictionary).

A pocket version of the book was published in 2010.

An E-Book version of the book was published in 2016.
