Most people live a life planned by others. That’s why Thoreau’s observation that “the mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation” is even more true today than in the 19th century when he wrote those words.

It’s equally true that you can’t understand others and the world around you unless you know and understand yourself. 20/20 Mind Sight provides a kickstart to a life of personal reflection and deep self-knowledge.
