"I'm a social worker who has been a Center member since 1985 and who appreciates many of Paul Rosenfels' ideas as most useful in helping others formulate and make sense of their problems."

Bob Fink

"As a child, I found discussions about the inner lives of characters from history and fiction to be fascinating. As an adult, I am more interested in learning up front about the motives of my fellow human beings."
