Book excerpt: Today, trying to survive, let alone flourish, in the constant barrage of opinions and "science says" is challenging for some and sadly impossible for others. What if there is one place where you could find a way out, one source that * has stood the test of time, * doesn't change with the actions and motives of strangers, * has guided multitudes and generations of people through the ebbs and tides of their lives? What if there's a map to help guide you to that source? Would you read it? Life is linear; living is cyclical. It is a map to help guide you out of the land of confusion.
