>Well first of all he was never my doctor. I just happened upon speaking with him a few times and it is kind of a private matter. So, I can't say what we talked about, but what I can say is that he is a rather pleasant man who wrote a book.
As far as insights go... I guess I have just one: he both believes in and practices what he wrote, there are no empty ideals. And thus his book is real and not just a bunch of b*llshit.
Anyway I hope a gave a satisfactory answer. Took me almost an hour to figure out what to say; hopefully now whoever reads this understands the positive message I am trying to convey.
Oh, and New England is never a dull place.
