American culture is undergoing some seismic shifts and this has left many people off-balance and ill-prepared to manage their lives in order to achieve the American Dream. With 95 years of practice, the author identifies some fundamental ideas that can help people attain the success they wish for.
The author identifies some of the facets of today's culture that we may dismiss as insignificant or "just fun" but which add up to disrespect for each other and for ourselves. He shows how these behaviors debilitate us all and sap our ability to move forward in a positive way. Then he coaches the reader on how to become more aware of what really matters, and by staying keenly attuned to reality, how to make sound decisions and adopt constructive behaviors. As an ex-Navy pilot, engineer, business executive, and college teacher, he's seen a lot in his time, and he's happy to share.
