    About this ebook

    Call it a “how-to” book for life. This is a short (10,000 words) book of philosophy and advice for living one’s life from a regular American guy, written in his declining years as the awareness of mortality begins to intrude; the central premise being that the ability to clearly distinguish good and evil is the most important tool a person can have for living a worthwhile, successful, happy life. In five core chapters the methods for achieving this discernment are described.

    This is one man’s attempt to share the wisdom he has gleaned from an ordinary life in ordinary times, with the (arguably vain, arrogant, narcissistic) hope that the world, and especially his children and grandchildren, can benefit by his words.

    Also, the suggestion is made—as justification if justification is required—that in a digital age with self-publishing readily available, perhaps we should all share what we have learned before we leave.
