The Enlightened Citizen

For centuries, it has been believed one must drop out of society, pledge a life of poverty and solitude, and follow a master to reach enlightenment. This book challenges that belief and attempts to give a point by point description of how anyone from any culture can become enlightened, and how social structures can be designed to encourage it. More importantly, it demonstrates how the morality of secular individualism can far outclass any set of stagnant rules. Life is a conglomeration of nuances and contexts. No written rules can adapt to fulfil every situation. But a mindful approach to personal interactions with others can do just that. Exactly what is needed in an ever increasingly technological and impersonal world.
