Description

Apparently, just around the bend is where we'll find everything we've been looking forward to including; world peace, winning the lottery and a blissful retirement. That's great, but if they're what you're looking for you won't find them in this book. What you'll find is a series of essays that examine some diverse topics about human nature, looked at from an unusual perspective and written in a way you may not have read before - plain English. I know the daily grind keeps many of us way too busy to stop and consider - or care - about the mysteries of life let alone homilies like 'Know Thyself"; we have enough problems with 'Where are my keys?' But if you're up to examining your 'mind' whilst I examine mine, then turn the book over and let's get started. Paying close attention to our thoughts, reactions and feelings can be scary at first but it reveals a great deal about us and is well worth the effort. You're not alone and help is always available ...far closer than you imagine.

Author Biography:

Many years ago I wrote my autobiography - probably more as therapy than anything else; but life continued happening to me and I got to thinking: what good will this story do, isn't there enough misery in the world without me adding to it by writing more? I subsequently burnt it. It was around this time when I began searching for meaning in my life that I had a profound experience - a realisation that we're all connected, we're One. I began to question everything I knew, accepting nothing at face value, writing down these questions and the thoughts surrounding them. From this, my first book On The Other Hand - The Little Anthology of Big Questions was born. In my books I take an honest look at our quirky and often bizarre behaviour in society, challenging the status-quo we accept as unchangeable; questioning and pushing the boundaries we set ourselves - and those that have been set for us. I'm convinced that if we want to change our lives and change our world then we must first change ourselves - to take responsibility for the things we do and in doing so, take back the power that - in general - we don't realise we've given away. In my writings I give no answers to life's questions - we already have them and only need find the courage to recognise them, accept them and then act. I invite you to join me on my journey, questioning the society we call ours and the role we play within it.All but my first book 'On The Other Hand' are illustrated and the blurb for each of them is an accurate description of what to expect inside.
