  “This great little book breaks down and explains that much of human thought and understanding has metaphorical underpinnings. Even though i had long words in the previous sentence, the book itself doesn't. However clear, it will take someone a little thinking to start to see the metaphors we live by on their own. You just have to be willing to look under rocks!”
