The Cliff Walk: A Memoir of a Job Lost and a Life Found Review

The Cliff Walk: A Memoir of a Job Lost and a Life Found [Paperback]Don Snyder's book is wonderful.Having been one of his students, this is not surprising.Don Snyder was the most influential professor that I had at Colgate.His class was about life as much as it was about literature.For example,Don moved our classroom from one of the magnificent gray stoned buildings perched high on the hill of the campus,to a dank basement in one of the college houses at the bottom of the hill,so as to remove us from the ivory tower.He taught us the danger of assumption and vain glory.He challenged us to see the precarious nature of our lives and to take little for granted.Most importantly,Don challenged us to rid ourselves of the illusions of power and security, to find out what is truly the one most important thing in our lives and to live for this thing,this person.I kept waiting for him to tell me what that one thing should be.He never did.He left that to me and I am so thankful to him.This is the lesson of the book
