It wasn't long enough! Seriously though, the book was well written and interesting, and really nice for people who are maybe middle age and wondering what they've done in life. I really appreciate the notion. There are millions of people all around the country that feel that way. I think its an issue with the media propping up all these people in hollywood as Gods, then you feel like you're not a good person. I think more than this book (and this is why I gave it 4 stars) is that people act as if they are humans struggling with their spirit, when we're spirits trying to be human. When you really get a hold of that idea, you change your outlook. You change your perspective and the little things we worry about don't matter. I'm very happy to have read this book.
