How to live a good life
How to live a good life
Understanding your place in the world
About the Book
The author woke one morning realising that most people have been hypnotised by the capitalist realities of the world we live in. There is no easy way to break through the illusions, and the painful individualism, that have been foisted upon us. The idea for the book came then, a simple explanation of how the world is put together and how to live a good life based on that better understanding.
