Summary

¿Fancy words are like taking an old, stinky, worn-out tennis shoe, putting it in a cardboard box, and wrapping it with bright, shiny, colorful paper,¿ asserts Robin B. Lipinski in this intriguing new book. His story is not about fancy words but of simplicity. It is about the closed mind each of us harbors, and how we can all open up and, indeed, ¿free our minds.¿ As he provides an examination of American society- including a look at the demise of marriage within the United States- and recounts his tour of duty with the U.S. Marine Corps, Lipinski offers six exercises readers can use to free up their thinking and open themselves up to new life experiences. Thought-provoking, compelling, and timely, here is a must-read for anyone searching for positive change in his or her life.
