I wrote in the discussion area of Oprah.com about this book, Life beyond Measure. I only had listened to it from an audio tape. I wrote that it was a new experience and found now that I have read the book version that I prefer the written word. Listening all the time is a very difficult skill to master.

Through his experience of not only being a watcher, he became a participator and a searcher to questions of life itself. He expounds on every facet. His own ideas and opinions on every subject life has to offer. It is based on his experience and I believe he wanted to share his zest for life (to learn everything possible) (knowledge is also survival) with his family and anyone who reads the book.

I do have to say that today I used a thought he stirred in me, in my own personal blog which is the same user name as I use here, in "spaces" that was fitting for a photograph I took this morning.

That's what books are for to stir one into thinking.
