First, it will make you think about your modern American existence in a whole new way. Secondly, it will give you an interesting counterpoint to whatever your current view is of the "homeless situation." Plus, Ace knows how to tell a story. Many of his anecdotes will have you laughing out loud...especially if you've ever spent any time in Berkeley. His ... Amazon.com Reviewer

Customer Review: capacity (5 Stars)

Weeks after finishing this book, I still marvel at Kahane's handling of a peculiar challenge: to describe for his readers a method of facing problems that cannot be solved with any predetermined methods. Kahane and his colleagues practice and describe an approach to working with difficult situations that asks everyone involved to collectively sense what has is latent (you can read about this in related books), and to act together, in concert, from the wholeness thereby sensed. These folks, as I'm sure anyone reading this review likely knows, are doing great work, but this book stands out even ... Amazon.com Reviewer
