		<description><![CDATA["This above all, to thine own self be true, and it must follow as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man." Hamlet 

The courage it takes to "be true to thine own self" is enormous. We have pressure from all sides to be everything other than our true selves. Pressure is often constant from family, peers, friends, society, relatives for us to be what "they" want us to be. Or that we do whatever it is "they" want us to do. The pressures of society can keep us divorced from ourselves for our entire lives. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Women Without Superstition: No Gods – No Masters, by Annie Laurie Gaylor, is a very moving, educational and inspirational book. Ninety women are portrayed, women who had virtually no status or respect as individuals. And yet, what a tremendous difference they made in the life of our nation as they challenged the Christian church, the clergy and organized, orthodox religion. 

Two women in the book are such inspiring examples of courage, guts, intelligence and integrity. 

ELIZABETH CADY STANTON wrote: "We need the courage to go to the source and strike the blow at the fountain of all tyranny, religious superstition, priestly power and canon law. I can tell you that the happiest period of my life has been since I emerged from the shadows and superstitions of the old theologies."

		<description><![CDATA[Albert Einstein won the Nobel Prize for his THEORY OF PHOTOELECTRICITY, and of course his THEORY OF RELATIVITY is known throughout the world.

His Holiness, the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet, is the head of state and also the spiritual leader of Tibet.

In every other area of life and living, apart from physics, these two men were truly kindred souls with shared views on almost every subject identical. ]]></description>
