I have recently read, re- read and started actively using a "gem of a book" called Radical Honesty. My favourite professor recommended it, and after I read it, he told me to re-read it. He was right.
This book changes your life, and I wish I'd written it. There. Said it. Biggest compliment a writer can pay to another one. Not that the author Brad Blanton needs my compliments. In fact, he'd probably cuss me out in case he reads this blog. He's that kind of guy and yeah, this is that kind of book. You either hate him or love him. I ended up hating him and loving his book (happens!)
This book is raw. Needs polishing and editing. But I wouldn't change anything in it. Not everyone's cup of tea though- honesty is a bitter poison to begin with. So I know that most of y'all won't read it. So I thought I'd leave you with the main residue that I had when I finished the book:
Whenever there is a choice to be made in life, ditch the principle and go for the truth. Always.
(You may have a different residue if you brave the book. That's the beauty!)

What is difference between honesty and the principal? My guess is that i have to read it to know.
newnoz: I guess you have to :)
but basically a principle allows you to lie (to yourself and to others)
Honesty is being real at the factual, feelings and contextual levels.
