Summary: Practice what you preach
Review: I'm sure that some people will find inspiration in what Mr. Jonas writes. However, the sad reality is that the business practices of IDT leave much to be desired and in no way reflect Mr. Jonas' supposed commitment to a Torah way of life. His company is rife with nepotism, engages in borderline business practices with it's suppliers and customers and treats employees shabbily (if not outright illegaly). This can easily be verified by many former employees, customers and suppliers from the earliest days of IDT's founding up until the present. Maybe this book is type of attempt at assuaging a guilty conscience, but those in the know can read between the lines.

Summary: Humanity at it's best
Review: Rich or not Mr. Jonas presents his life as a simple philosophy stressing that our true self is the supreme truth utilizing biblical priciples as a bedrock saving humanity from itself. Humanity can change by creating compassion and better human beings based on the ultmate goodness of God and Man.Self realization based on ones ideas and understanding of God as the supreme teacher who rules over the universe leads to a meaningful life whereby God loves us all.. Keep on cleaning the mirror Mr. Jonas, your lucid down to earth style symbolizes the harmony with oneself and with others..your universal yearning based on good works and employing others can indeed only be actualized in a free society such as the USA a lesson to be learned in these murderous times..
