I was very lucky the doctors guessed correctly. Because they didn't diagnose it until I was leaving the hospital. Thanks for your comment, Rachel! When I got it, it was practically unheard of.

Horrifying and scary (especially being a parent), but very touching. Bacterial Meningitis is one of those things that is always in the back of your mind when you're a parent, but you tell yourself "it can't happen to my kid - it NEVER happens." But it does - and it can. Thank you for sharing! Wow- Wade, Great story. Horrifying and scary (especially being a parent), but very touching.

Chodron's is more of a guide to productive meditation in times of duress and angst. From your review it sounds like this book is more allegorical than prescriptive.

Just curious if you could compare the two books, since I haven't read the Chondron book. Karen, have you read “Anger”?

I wasn't at all shocked by my top 5: Activator, Learner, Intellection, Command, Input. I actually used it as a guide to revamp my resume during a recent job search. It helped me approach designing my resume from a more goals oriented perspective so that I could highlight the instances in which these particular skills came in to play. I guess its all in how you use it. I recently went through a staff planning conference that did the same. I wasn’t at all shocked by my top 5: Activator, Learner, Intellection, Command, Input.
