54 Simple Truths with Brutal Advice - How to Face the Challenges of Life (Paperback)

Life is very short and some people go through life never learning or realising that experiences coming their way are inevitable.The simple truths described here are those inevitable events, incidents and moments that will touch everyone eventually in their lifetime.We can make the most of the time we have by being alert and aware of the choices we make in life and the impact they have on ourselves and others. Exploring, debating and reflecting on these simple truths may raise complexities and 'grey' areas, and you may say that there is no such thing as a simple truth.What may be a truth for some may not be for others. What is simple to some is complex to others. The point here is - it's your choice. You choose what value you gain from these reflective and challenging statements. Challenging; because the truths are accompanied by 'brutal advice'. Brutal only in the sense that I leave out the complex, theoretical or academic reasoning behind what I write within the book.I have tried to express the ideas from the heart with good intention that when you pause and ask yourself "so what?" the answer is in the realm of common sense (or it could be a direct challenge to some) even though it may come over as a little brutal!By the way, a word of warning; always be wary of advice given to you. Always better to take your own counsel, your own choices and your own direction."54 Simple Truths with Brutal Advice" is a common sense guide that provides the reader with a direct no-nonsense approach to living a happy and healthy life at home and at work - two common aspects of life often taken for granted as not being connected.With topics like life and death, love and loss, risk and sex, author Mike Wash explains the importance of maintaining an earnest sense of responsibility and gratitude when considering the choices and surprises presented to us in life, whether we're dealing with injustice, addiction or success - just to name a few of the many possibilities explored in this challenging and stimulating book.
