This is a book for those who know life is short and who are desperate enough to take up arms and make revolutionary inner changes before it’s too late. It’s a book for people who urgently want to be happy but have figured out the usual methods don’t work. It’s a guide for those tired of trying to become well-adjusted to a perverse society. It’s for those fed up with the dead end of modern consumer-capitalist ideology. This is a book for hereos and heroines, for warriors. It’s for people ready to take the tackle depression, anger, endless desire, jealousy, and pride- the true demons that undermine the happiness we all seek. This is a book for desperadoes, rebels, and insurrectionists willing to pit themselves against a life defined by perpetual dissatisfaction, egoism, and greed. This is a book for those who have figured out that being happy is neither superficial nor selfish but the indispensable ingredient for living a meaningful life of service to others.
