Without Lip Service is not about pleasing you for the sake of self-satisfaction. It's about life and people written in "naked-truth" form. During reading, be prepared to go through dramatically different moods swaying from high exhilaration to passionate fury. Which one it will be depends on where you are in life as well as on your point of views on any given issue raised by the author. Examples: "The world is not America's" "Lawyers by trade are professional liars" "A definition of politics: Corruption" "We live in a world of trickery" "Prerequisites to successful life"... "A list of ill-fated concepts"... "Experience and knowledge have been awarded with 'early retirement'" Of the media, "They decide what's good for you" "Terrorism is a product of gross injustice"... You would deny yourself a tremendous amount of knowledge and wisdom by not reading what is offered in this book. Without Lip Service will surely be not only your reference book but a guide as well throughout your entire life including your children's.
