Life is messy, complicated, and amazing all at the same time, mostly because of the other people we have to deal with. Understanding what makes them tick, why they do what they do, and learning what each person is and isn’t responsible for makes a big difference in how we act for ourselves and how we treat others. This book dives into biology, science, religion, and emotional health to help you understand Humanity like you’ve never understood it before. You may even find the ultimate purpose of life in these pages! (Hint, yes you will, and it’s not what you think it is)

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
When my life started crumbling for a whole lot of reasons, and kept crumbling, despite all of my best efforts to stop it, I went on a quest to make sense of it all. Using an advanced education in medicine, biology, psychology, human behavior, and a lot of faith and an obnoxious tendency to be a know-it-all, I wrote this book with a desire to change myself and help as many people change themselves in whatever way they felt they should.
This book gives readers the tools to do what they want with their lives, or to make the most of what they've been given.

We need each other. You and I. Yes… I need you. And you need me. And you and I need friends and family… and when possible, a committed spouse or partner, and kids. We all need neighbors, and a community, a society, and a country to belong to. As much as some of us would like to be alone, to go escape off the grid, or retreat into our prepper-style nuclear-fallout-EMP-proof basement, we need to help the people around us and we need their help in return… Even if for no other reason than to have them help you build your fallout shelters (though that would give away your secret).
Humanity thrives by creating connections with each other, like a fabric. A hole or tear in the fabric in the form of a natural or societal disaster may be devastating to large areas of the fabric. As we recuperate and rebuild from these events, we can heal those tears in the fabric of humanity to become even stronger than before.
I know the world isn’t perfect, and the natural order of things tends to be a destructive one, except for the fact that for the past 4.5 billion years (as near as we can tell by looking at the dirt and rocks around us), life on Earth has tended towards becoming more complicated and specialized. For whatever reason, an incredible combination of special circumstances has allowed life to get better and better and better at adapting and surviving. And we do this by each of us changing our own world around us. Hopefully, also, for the better.
You need to know that you will fail, completely and totally, at times. You will somehow still be alive when you know you shouldn’t be. You will see plenty of people who weren’t nearly as lucky as you to survive what you did. This world is not fair. It cannot be and will not be. Most of us will try to make it a little bit fairer and that is good, but even those of us who try to make it fair will still have to deal with some of the greatest injustices imaginable.
If you pick up your face and stare the darkness down and decide that in the face of overwhelming defeat you are still going to keep rising up, you are on the right track. And it may take some time before you figure out how or even why you should pick yourself up in the face of all that. No one should ever feel bad for failing, and no one should feel bad for not wanting to get back up. But if there’s any desire inside of you to want to get back up even if you don’t know how or why you should, this is a start, and eventually, you will begin to see the true nature of yourself and those around you, and you will be pleased.
I don’t want this to purely be a personal improvement book or a self-help book. Nor do I want it to be an Addiction Recovery book. I want this book to teach everyone a little something more about themselves and about human nature in a way that inspires us to go help others, to love others, and help us all work together towards a better world. This is a “Society Help” book that focuses on root causes. The very basic, most simple seed to all problems in Society starts with individuals, and since we can’t erase individuality from humanity, we need to understand it and understand ourselves.
While I may reference religious ideas and principles in this book, I’m not going to try to convince you to believe the same way. This isn’t the book for that. You don’t have to believe in God to be a good person, and I don’t expect you to believe in God just because I said to. Being Good? Yes, I hope to help you be more of that.
Humanity has thrived because of its ability to cooperate within itself and with its surroundings while preserving individuality. Humanity is the most capable life form this planet has seen. No other single species has been able to do so much with the dirt and water around us than humanity has. This ability only comes because we can work together, share our knowledge, and help each other while promoting and preserving individual gifts and experiences. Working together involves avoiding destructive behaviors while holding onto and promoting constructive and productive behaviors.
We have to gain knowledge, we have to learn, and we have to gain experience for ourselves and learn of the experiences of others and put it all together as best as we can if we want to make this world a better place. That's what this book is for.
