How to live sane in an insane world
In Viktor Frankl's book, "Man's Search for Meaning," he gives the vivid and detail account of his experiences in a concentration camp of World War II under Adolf Hitler's reign of terror. The descriptive's are emotionally moving and will evoke fear in anyone who reads this work. It is the denouement of a world gone horribly wrong. But this was not some haphazard chance where by everyone was caught in the throws of cultural circumstances. All cultures are predisposed by a model that develops over the annals of time through the process of education.

Self Esteem
The German philosopher, Hegel, believed that all of history was to be interpreted along a continuum of collective consciousness, and that there was no such thing as truth, just different forms of consciousness, each transcending the other, but none that have ever been wholly true. Looking down the corridors of time one sees numerous paradigms that emerge in various cultures. We even see this in the history of our own country. Should people really pay homage to the cultural vicissitudes that shift across time?

Social Depression
There is nothing more tantalizing than living by expectations that you can not live up to on a daily basis. This will create more suffering than what is necessary. Let's face it, there is enough suffering to go around by just being born into the human race. Suffering is part of life, but what incapacitates people, is the unnecessary suffering. Suppose you expect yourself to be happy all the time (and I know people who do) and when you encounter negative experiences that fail this expectation, you descend into depression.

How to get started
I am a writer and have published two books of poetry and one authobiography. I am an expert in forensic counseling and I also hold expertise in the areas of children and family. I have expertise in the area of addictions. I have professional training in theology as well. I was once a minister but left the ministry seeking to have more influence on people in private. I realize that public proclamation is the greatest means because we speak to so many at once. However, I feel that it is much more efficacious to speak to an individual alone.
