Before:
I identify as a Catholic, grown within the tight-knit community of South Indian Catholics at the St. Thomas Syro-Malabar Catholic Eparchy of Chicago. I once adhered, to a considerable degree, to the notion that “Money buys happiness.” My understanding of organizations, corporations, and the larger socio-economic structure was limited. I held scant knowledge about the rich history of diverse cultures and our own species, Homo sapiens. Although I possessed some familiarity with past civilizations such as Ancient Rome, Ancient Greece, and the Aztecs, my grasp was rather limited. There existed a ego sense of self-importance regarding my place in the world.
After:
Questioned everything.
Conclusion:
If your okay with opening your horizions read this book!
