This book is a collection of personal experiences and lessons that I learned from homeless people on the streets of Salt Lake City. All were either sick, unemployed, addicted, mentally ill, or otherwise despondent. I'm a long way from being the kind of person I want to be, but I'm headed in the right direction, thanks to people living on the streets. They inspired me and taught me some very important lessons, the most important being that all people - no matter their race, culture, religion, political persuasion, or socio-economic status - have good within. Joy and suffering have no distinctions, and so we all deserve our love and support for each other.In these pages, I describe twelve real-life experiences that I had while serving homeless people. Each experience taught me a lesson that I will share with you. If you will read and apply just one lesson each month, you will feel yourself change inside, and you will find greater joy in all aspects of your life. At the end of each lesson, I include an example development plan as a guide in making your own plan to become a better person.Please join me on a lifelong journey in discovering The Good Within. Warmest Regards, Bruce

To do so, some of them adopted conventional feminine identities, while others refused to conform altogether, openly and defiantly challenging the gender expectations of their day. The book consists of a series of case studies of the women in question as they grappled with the concerns close to their hearts: higher education for women, healthy dress reforms, the vote, equal opportunities at work, abortio...
