Notes to Myself: My Struggle to Become a Person

by Hugh Prather

Reading Notes To Myself is one of those rare experiences that comes only once in a great while.  The editor who discovered the book said, "When I first read Prather's manuscript it was late at night and I was tired, but by the time I finished it, I felt rested and alive.  Since then I've reread it many times and it says even more to me now."  The book serves as a beginning for the reader's...

    A book that ought to b given free to the whole of mankind. The thinking identify while the thoughtless learn to think. Beyond their own nose.

    during a casual visit to a book shop i picked up this master piece, i can't tell how glad i am that i picked up this book. the whole book is not consistant with excellent thoughts but then you find such gems in the book. some of lines are always around me since i read the book. "guilt is a voice that will speak whenever i choose to listen . it will mournfully address any subject but one: correcting the mistake " "i talk becouse i feel, and i talk to you becouse i want you to know how i feel" "when i am feeling small , negative feedback seems better than none.i would rather have a person hate me than overlook me.as long as i am hated i make adifference" we all think these at some point of time in our lives

    I read it when I was young and impressionable and it made a big impact on me. I recently gifted it to somebody and a lot of sentiments seemed corny. Still, there are some interesting points - the one on boredom has stayed with me all these years.
