Reviews
"Compelling. . . . The Final Leap is a highly readable book . . . [and] is accessible to a wide range of readers."--Tony O'Brien "Metapsychology Online Review" (11/13/2012 12:00:00 AM)
"Masterful. . . . It is hard not to be emotionally moved by this relatively slim volume. . . . Gripping, informative, maddening, and saddening."--Daniel S. Weiss "Psyccritiques" (11/28/2012 12:00:00 AM)
"The appearance of the publication of this sensitive and humane apologia signifies the continuing struggle for maturity and depth in an American civilization capable of creating such a breathtaking path of sculptured steel across the entrance to a bay and a city so evocative of life."-- "Salt Lake Tribune" (4/15/2012 12:00:00 AM)
