| In my opinion this type of tracking is even more important than the ability to follow a logical argument (although that is vital). The tracking of emotion, motive, effect should come before that rational stage of learning. |
I agree completely! Understanding ourselves emotionally is critical to good decision making and ultimately having some happiness in life. |

Thanks for your submissions. While I enjoyed running this contest and reading the entries I now realize that we are going to have to form a Book Award committee to help me with this project. There is so much administrative stuff to do to keep BookTalk.org running along smoothly that I might be biting off more than I can chew with these contests. I will try to find a few members to help me in the future. For instance I could have used some help with reading these essays, and contacting the participants, and then finding out which free books they would like.
I am going to offer free books to everyone that participated:
Stephen Uhl
BabyBlues
DWill

If you're one of these 4 people please email chris@booktalk.org with your book choice from the "Books Available For Awards" thread. Just click here to see the long list of books. http://www.booktalk.org/books-available-for-awards-t4515.html It would be wise to send me your 1st choice and 2nd choice, just in case their is a conflict with book choices. Last few times several people quickly claimed the same book. LOL |
