If there is a means to survive this present maelstrom of conflicting and ever-shifting national and international paradigms within the coming decades, the answers may just lie in this book. Delgado certainly poses the relevant questions and, quite frankly, answers most of them. This is a grand slam of a first book for Delgado. I'm anxiously awaiting the sequel."" -James R.

Criminal Profiler, Forensic Linguist Author: A Journey to the Center of the Mind, Forensic Linguist and Member of the Behavioral Analysis Unit ""This is an important book, a commonsense-and previously unexplored-means of becoming your best self while meeting others half way and forging common ground. By exploring the axis of empathy, humility, and wisdom, it presents practical strategies for delimiting your personal horizons, strategies that are employed to our benefit or ignored at our peril."" -Benjamin Shaffer, Former adjunct professor of Business Communication, George Mason University ""Efren Delgado's open vulnerability expands beyond the academic world and invites you to participate in his gritty experiences...[this book takes] you on a spiritual journey to motivating, yet practical, enlightenment."" -Philip Zimbardo, PhD, Professor Emeritus of Psychology, Stanford University"
