Finally, it's about high time that I take care of one last piece of long overdue business. At the beginning of this year I was sent a wonderful book by Rabbi Cary A. Friedman, author of Spiritual Survival for Law Enforcement. A consultant for the FBI, Rabbi Friedman has taken a unique and interesting pop culture perspective for his latest book. Move over Dr. Phil because there's only one man who can help point us into the proper direction to a more fulfilling and peaceful existence. That man is none other then the caped crusader himself - the Batman! Titled Wisdom From the Batcave: How to Live a Super Heroic Life, Rabbi Friedman's book is unlike any self help book I've ever encountered before. The lessons taught, all through the examples of Batman and other characters such as Robin and Nightwing, are simple, yet never condescending or bogged down with difficult philosophical jargon. In fact, while reading through the book I was surprised how much of the book is based on common sense, although most of the time we as humans are unable to follow such common sense in order to live more fulfilling lives. That's when Batman comes into the picture to help us learn from his examples. Rabbi Friedman's book is both quirky and unusual but a valuable guide to life and is available through Compass Books and can be previewed at www.batwisdom.com. I also want to thank Rabbi Friedman again for sending me his wonderful book and I wish him luck with it.
