Book Description

An iconoclastic scientist, veterinary surgeon, health educator, pioneering leader in the natural food and prevention fields, inventor, and philosopher makes a compelling case that what the world commonly holds to be true is wrong, and that the solutions lie within easy grasp if we will just put thinking, rather than beliefs, first.

Everyone agrees that life can be an overwhelming affair at times. But people cannot seem to agree on what to do about it. Not only that, but because "everyone is entitled to their beliefs," and beliefs vary with the person, there seems to be no hope for either personal solutions or peace in the world.

What if there were a way to solve the important issues we face in life such as health, ethics, politics, economics, race, sex, marriage, environment, and self improvement? There is.

First it is necessary to understand that we are all born on the starting line of life with blank mental slates. From this innocent and authentic state our attention is hooked by parents, schools, peers, and experts who fill our minds with "proper" knowledge. The result is a society stuffed with given beliefs, none of which we own, and—as you will learn in this book—most of which are wrong.

Although important questions are often debated today, there seems to be no satisfying solutions. Instead, shortsighted agendas prevail, money dictates decisions, and ethics seems a thing of the past. We all sense this misdirection and can feel helpless as our lives do not go as planned and the world spirals out of control.

Since ultimately everything in life happens because of the way we think, the solutions also depend upon thinking. That does not mean playing the victim or searching out experts, but reaching within to see the sense, goodness, and direction that lie there.

Through ninety-six chapters encompassing virtually every important aspect of life, this illustrated encyclopedic book is not just another opinion or belief. With startling common sense, Dr. Wysong helps readers unravel the most complex of human issues. By tapping into our own unlimited thinking resources we learn how to take rational control of our lives. It feels like coming up for air in a sea of insanity.

If you would like to understand life better, be healthier, happier, have meaning, contribute to a better world, and avoid some bumps and bruises along the way, this is your guidebook.
