Chapter 11: The Purpose of Our Dreams
I hate this chapter. I am well aware of the fact that mentioning right up front that even the author doesn’t like the chapter is not a smart way to grab readers’ attention, but I already messed up the foreword and dedication, so I think by now you know that I’m kind of a mess.
Chapter 10: To All Those Who Have Written Failure Stories Within Themselves
