 Misnomer
I thought that whilst this book was quite fascinating it didn't really address the issues that the book began with namely an incident where a good horse trainer loses his cool with a recalcitrant horse and in front of an audience. He gets angry and actually uses his crop on the horse.
For me it left a lot of questions which start to get discussed in the final chapters of the book but almost as an afterthought.
If the book had been about how we deal with our darker feelings then it would have more satisfying and more reflect the title. A good read nontheless.
 Fantastic book
This is a really wonderful book. It is full of amazing insights into the interior world of horses and humans. It is a truly incredible experience to read this book. You will learn so much you will feel as if you have had your eyes and ears closed your whole life. Do yourself a favor and read it twice. Thank you Chris Irwin for changing my life.
Interesting & insightful
I loved some of the insights and it's worth reading. However, I thought the Author could have been more focused on the overall picture and less focused on himself toward some of the later chapters.
 Okay but lacking some substance
Chris is open but he tries unsuccessfully to convince the reader that he was humbled and knocked off his high horse during a session with Stella the horse. Seems to me that he wants to believe he has become altruistic and has written a book to try and convince himself.
To his credit he has come a long way in life and conquered many demons. But, many irrelevant photos and self praise show that his ego is huge, and insecurities large.
Sadly, I suspect this book was an insincere effort to try and save face in the business arena. It is highly likely that Chris will have another greater fall and the resultant book will reach sincerity.
Good ideas and insights
Interesting ideas linked with inisghts into Chris Irwins personal life, trials & tribulations. Very readable.
