This is a work I have gone back to repeatedly, for nearly thirty years. Turner's objective of reinvigorating a sense of hopefulness as a bulwark to the mounting chaos that seems to be engulfing cultures globally is both noble and practical. It has served me like a reliable compass in very rough seas; beautifully structured ideas set forth in an accessible and straightforward manner. I have bought numerous copies for friends over the years. I would unequivocally recommend it.
