There is a pervasive conspiracy against embracing our individuality, uniqueness, and independence. Changing these ingrained habits seems like an uphill battle.
We secretly yearn for change but then get caught in the trap of societal expectations. It's a constant struggle against the conformity pressure. We hesitate to break free from habits and traditions, even in how we dress or live.
We buy things not for ourselves but with others in mind, seeking their approval as if we need permission to be who we are.
We live a life full of extravagance, showing off, appearances. A life beyond our means which lead to indebtedness and sometimes God forbid to crime and misery.
The principles in this book encapsulate the wisdom Pete gained from Carl's guidance. I hope this will benefit future generations on how to control the thyself, practice discipline save money and prosper.
