"Hal Lyon's book can help both men and women to discover that gentleness and forcefulness are not polar opposites, but part of the same energy. Like light, which is one of the strongest forces in our universe and at the same time one of the softest and most delicate, our own energy can be both tender and strong. This is a book which the intelligent layman will find full of messages which are significant for his life." Carl R. Rogers, author of On Becoming a Person
