About the Book
Back to Good is the combined result of life experience coupled with the wisdom imparted by those people who consistently embody the best attributes of the human spirit. I have assembled knowledge and lessons learned from personal struggles, hardships, and times of joy, as well as from examples of countless people who have shown the true goodness we are capable of, into something tangible--something that can help resolve some questions, uncertainties, and challenges of life.You won't find complicated comparisons of differing cultures or religions in this book, as it was written to be accessible and beneficial to people of all faiths, and to those who may not have any type of spiritual or religious convictions. I have no intentions of imposing my beliefs upon anyone else, because a true connection to goodness is made through one's beliefs and actions, not through arguments, forceful principles, or disrespect for the various beliefs that exist. completely respect the multitude of differing beliefs in our diverse world because everyone travels a personal journey in life and has unique experiences and perspectives. My most heartfelt wish is to respect your views, while offering you the positive, powerful, and practical values that getting back to good can provide; values which are fundamentally universal, pertaining to every person, persuasion, and faith. To that end, I made every attempt to express ideas and messages that offer a straightforward guide to help you live with the goodness and tolerance that is applicable to every human being.
About the Author
I remember thinking about the state of our world — how negative it can
seem at times, and I honestly felt I did my fair share to help out. You
know what? I did do my fair share — my share of negativity and
pessimism. It wasn’t until years of separation from my family that I
slowly became aware of the fact that the responsibility for much of the
negativity I witnessed in the world and in my family was my own.
Trapped in a downward spiral of negativity, I was often angry,
resentful, ungrateful, and selfish. I was so
wrapped up in an “all about me” attitude that I could not see the way I
perceived and treated others lacked goodness — that I was treating
people in the very ways I found so disheartening. The words I, me, my,
and mine were used much too often in everyday encounters, and
self-centered, intolerant behavior served to drain positive energy and
joy from my life. My actions caused personal relationships to suffer,
creating damaging rifts in my family, social, and professional lives.
