In his latest book, Yehuda Berg uses the device of an as told to autobiography to explain the notion of The Adversary, an important concept in Kabbalistic wisdom. Through this playful yet serious faux-bio, readers learn that Satan resides within everyone, manifesting himself as that nagging little voice of doubt and uncertainty, and that that’s how havoc is wreaked throughout the world.

Translated by Audie E. Bock."A first rate book and a joy to read.... It’s doubtful that a complete understanding of the director’s artistry can be obtained without reading this book....
