Hi Folks ! .....thanks
for navigating to this page of the website.
What we’re doing here is simply to outline briefly the nature and purpose
of the second publication
by the author, entitled .....”HAPPINESS ISN’T FOR CISSIES!”
The preparation that evolution has given humans in order to
exist happily and safely in their environment on
earth is extremely well-documented in a whole range of scientific studies
and research. And a great deal of attention
is currently being paid to man’s external environment, in a physical
sense. This takes place through research into
the global warming, ice-cap melting, de-forestation, climate change, resources
limits, urban design, pollution control
etcetcetc. It’s very high-profile, right now.
What has been given far less attention and understanding is
the effect of the quite staggering change in the
environment within man’s society and his/her CO-existence. The
degree to which a large proportion of the lives of
people on this planet have become intensely complex and at times
overwhelmingly so, compared with that for which
evolution prepared them, is recognised by few others than the social
scientists ………it simply isn’t getting out there
to YOU, the people, except where there’s a perceived
acute problem ! (e.g. mental breakdown, high crime-rate,
wife/husband-battering, teenage pregnancy, drugs abuse, knife crime, child abuse,
sexual irresponsibility….the list
is disturbingly long). In the meantime the less serious but nevertheless
chronic problems manifest themselves through
‘poor values’, ‘obsession with celebrity culture’, ‘materialism’, ‘anti-social
behaviour’ (to name but a few one hears of
frequently) and continue to grow out of control and unchecked. And these affect
ALL of us, either directly or indirectly.
The realisation that happiness is a goal, an achievable aspiration
and not a right is just one part of the perspective required.
In fact, our social development (as fully-functioning
individuals) can actually be hampered and threatened by the discovery,
by man, of an overload of new knowledge and the resultant change
in way of life. The application of this new knowledge in our physical
world can serve to confuse as well as to benefit us. It’s simply too
much ! It doesn’t have the time to bed in. And in addition, most
governments refuse to embrace the sheer complexity and effect of this
white hot pace of change in the way we relate to one another. This is
evidenced by the skimpy attention it commands in further education and the
standard school curriculum. Co-existence never was top of the list of
goals of education……now it seems to be at the very bottom.
Schools, amongst some very good work, still teach a whole range of
completely irrelevant subjects (that they were teaching 50, yes,
50 years ago!) and yet the full extent of ‘knowledge’ that the education
system is challenged to instill into our kids has grown well over
1000-fold in that timespan !
And, as a result, the adults who grew up in 1940’s, 50’s, 60’s, 70’s,
80’s etc find that they actually learned even ‘less and less’ about
what is now ‘more and more’ and the younger generation remains ignorant
of most new material, too ..... much of which is directly
related to them in their lives.
And whenever a society loses touch with its knowledge-base, that some
individuals have and others don’t have, it is certain that confusion,
frustration, alienation and ultimately disorientation will take place.
It’s now known that this can also take place at a subconscious
level…………so people don’t even know why it is that they’re not
happy .....or not as happy as they could be and should be !
They can begin to feel inferior, incapable of quite fitting into
their world, unfulfilled, lacking in the means to change their lives….in
fact, out of touch ……….out of perspective ! And we all suffer
from it to one degree or another……every single one of us.
The serious aim of “ Happiness isn’t
for cissies! ” is to start to give you back a bit of that perspective….to
give you the raw realities of life in an ever more complex social and
working environment…..and to illustrate the vitality of so-called life
skills …….that no-one ever taught you ! In many cases you won’t even
know that you haven’t got them, let alone that you really need them.
This doesn’t even attempt,
incidentally, to fill the knowledge gap…… that’s not within anyone’s
grasp, it’s too much, now. But for just about everyone the overload of
“progress” means that a bit of reality is missing or lost on the way……..
and it’s regaining a bit of this perspective that is our goal !
The publication takes the form of a series of 35 (and still growing)
simple-to-read facts and summaries that are designed to take you only
five to ten minutes a week to read and will stimulate your thinking,
both over the course of that week and whenever it suits you. They
will, incidentally, from time to time, also stimulate fun debate and
conversation within your circle of family and friends….guaranteed ! And
they are as relevant to an 80 year-old as they are to an 18 year-old. The
text is aimed at all young adults, but frankly most adults beyond
30 years old simply haven’t absorbed most of the concepts, yet. I know
because I saw it thousands and thousands of times in my company where
each person was under very close scrutiny indeed.
The content has absolutely no elements of hypnotics nor
religion, nor any belief system, nor hippie-trippie nonsense.......
absolutely nothing “whacky”. It is based purely on raw facts, well
documented, researched data, proven and accepted in Universities the
world over that relate to your personal place
and space in the world. What is new is the simple, sometimes
jaw-dropping, uncomplicated delivery that virtually anyone can
understand. Rocket science it just ain’t ! The point is this. You won’t
have to plough through 30 or 40 books to get this distillate of the
realities of your social and working
environment.
You can buy the whole book or will receive them, automatically, one per week,
via email for about a six-month period. You are given the first four completely
without charge...and if you don't like them then you simply unsubscribe on your
email.
If you like the first four and wish to continue then, and
only then will you be asked to actually pay anything…… even
then only a tiny, weekly sum ! You can stop at any
time. No aggravation, no fuss.
If you’d like to kick off the process of getting a LOT more perspective
in to your understanding of your life then please give us your detail
below and click the send button. You’ll then receive the first four, over
a four-week period without any charge whatsoever. You will need to
complete the payment details, of course, but these can be cancelled
anytime at all, day or night. And you can even pass them on
electronically, or by printing off, to whomsoever
you wish without further charge !
We honestly believe that this
significantly improved perspective will enable you to grow more as a
person, grow more in your approach to your life and, ultimately, to grow
more in your happiness and contentment.
In fact, it will put wind in your
sails and ensure that you make happiness your true achievable goal
whether it be in work, play or in your personal relationships.
