Book excerpt: This book is for the people that want to change the world starting from the inside out. Change doesn’t come from pointing fingers, rather it comes from helping others. Matthew’s philosophy is a synthesis of Eastern and Western ideals and is derivative of the brilliant minds that searched for truth before him. Strongly inspired by Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave,” Matthew wanted to write something that followed the same path in finding reality in a world where perception takes precedence. This book embodies the search for enlightenment and instills a hope for a better tomorrow. Matthew uses lyrics from songs from all walks of life in tribute to their ability to communicate their search for a better tomorrow. This book will give you the tools to gain personal power in order to allow your voice to be heard because you are an invaluable part of the world. You will develop a foundation of solid logic that will allow you to decipher the most complex issues plaguing our world today.
