Living Sensical

Living Sensical

About the Book

This is a manifesto about modern living.

Mostly, it's a crazy world out there.

The biggest problem you have -  is what you haven't been taught.

  • It's not on any curriculum in any school – I don't know that it ever has been.

  • The government ignores this, but talks about it all the time.

  • Several authors through history have written books with this in the title, but never get around to actually defining it for anyone.

  • It's said that it's something you learn when growing up – but ask your parents about this and you'll get a blank stare.

  • Practically, this is harder to talk about than sex – and there aren't even any scandalous magazines printed about it.

  • Yet everyone can do this. Everyone can practice this. Everyone can learn how to improve their skills with this.

This is probably the first time such a simple explanation has been put into words, let alone print:

Sensical (Sensible, “Makes Sense”) is where Emotional thought agrees with Rational Thought.

If you read nothing further, I've done my job here.

Take that definition and test it for yourself. When you can emotionally “get behind” something, and it is the logical “think to do” - then it's a sensible action to take. You'll find that you will do sensical/sensible things and not do non-sensical things (unless you are a comedian, or a politician. Comedians who become politicians, well...)

That is the point of this book:

Test everything you hear, read, or experience.

Accept only those ideas and “facts” when you've proved them to be workable for yourself.

I'll tell you why this works and how as we go along.

(From the Introduction)

This book has taken literally decades of research and boiled it down into a single, short manifesto. (Or an extra long, incisive rail at the so-called "conventional wisdom" our "powers-that-be" constantly remind us are true. But are they? Really?)

Find out if you are a slave or free - to think as you want, to be whatever you want, to have all that you've ever dreamed of.

Is this book for real? Could you get all that from a 68-page book? Maybe not - this is just a manifesto, after all.

But it should be an interesting break from your usual reading diet, if nothing more...
