It's a book that's proving to be more on point as each day goes by: "It's Not Your Fault: But It Could Be" by Chuck Trunks

 

Panama City, Florida  - November 21, 2024 - An excerpt from the intro to Part III: 

"In the next three chapters, I will show you how society puts you to work as soon as possible so the corprate players holding all the cards can compete with each other for your time, attention, and most importantly, your money. Consider whether the societal construct is looking out for you or serving its own self-interest by controlling the masses. Having spent almost as much time on the outside of the societal construct as I did living within it, I hope you'll appreciate my unique perspective as I take you to see the doctor, lease an apartment, and borrow money from the bank. After that, we'll go back to school to revisit primary, secondary, and higher education in America, followed by sobering but true aspects of marriage, homeownership, and having a family." 💓

Is it just me? Or do other people notice what I'm noticing but aren't saying anything?

If you've seen what I've seen inside and outside mainstream society, then you will love this book because you will have found a like-minded brother in me. If what I'm revealing in It's Not Your Fault: But It Could Be is eye-opening to you, then you will also love this book because it demonstrates that there's more to work than the daily grind, more to happiness than material wealth, and more to relationships than pet-centric lives.

We live in a duplicitous society where we're surrounded by messaging that tells us to follow our dreams and to be our authentic selves despite being bombarded by a culture that offers a narrow definition of success and only one way to get there. This book is based on real-life experiences that will remind you of the freedoms you still have, so you, too, can avoid the false promises of the American Dream.

In my last book, Being Happy: The Pursuit of You, I offer a formula for finding the happiness within you. This latest book, It's Not Your Fault: But It Could Be, is about acquiring and maintaining happiness despite living in such a toxic culture.

All my books can be found on Amazon. 💓💓💓
