This is not a “how to” book. It’s a book that poses the questions, “should you?” I will be asking you really hard questions about your own training chops and expertise with aggression.

This book is about criticism. It is a road of many interesting events, happenings, circumstances, and occurrences. We can see ourselves as we observe the contents of this writing. This book identifies many types of criticism. Perhaps some you have never considered. Take a look at this fat-bellied word. It is simple writing. It is not intended to be professional with every dot and comma placed at exact locations. It is rather a series of briefs randomly placed on paper just for the fun of it. I am positive we have all stood on both the good and bad sides of this word. Sometimes we are the inflictor. In other instances we are the receiver. Often it is delivered in private. Now and then it is issued by several people at the same time. This word is a part of every living person. Criticism occurs more often than we realize. It is often desired, rejected, considered, or stored for future use. It is a powerful word that can be deceptive. It can lead us into temptation or draw us out of harm's way. It can lay dormant for years or rapidly fly off a tongue. Criticism is always present. It never takes a break. It may withdraw for a period of time but it is just gathering more information to be utilized at the right time. This book looks in most of the nooks and crannies to uncover criticism in an enjoyable fashion. Criticism can be so deceptive that it is difficult to see what is really taking place at any given time. This book cannot wait for you to get into the contents it shares. It will make you giggle, laugh, sigh, and perhaps moan. This writing will grab your attention as you invest a little time taking a look at criticism. This book will relate to the reader in a way that is personal and at times intense.
