Pick Your Pieces: Some Thoughts to Think About

First, I want to thank you for caring enough about yourself and the world to read a book like this. As of 2023, we're facing some very difficult social, personal, and political challenges. The upside is that these challenges are forcing us to find healthier ways to cope and overcome. It's counterintuitive, but the "bad" is paving the way for the better. We are making progress because of people like you. This is not a political book, but it is an attempt to facilitate the creation of a competing parallel system – a system that you can build within yourself, a psychological system that protects against the onslaught of modern-day challenges and programming that we all have to endure. Except for the introduction, most of this book consists of separate, stand-alone passages under 200 words each. (For context, the introduction covers the absolute mess I was when I was younger, and the short passages cover the ideas and perspectives that not only helped me unwind that mess but continue to help me decades later.)
