Auspicious Thoughts, Propitious Mind

‘Reading this book can inspire a thinking, and encourage attitudes that lead to more peace of mind, with a sense of happiness and contentment.

The practical philosophy here offers readers a chance of a better understanding of life, of ourselves and others, the way our minds work and the traps that befall us. Many seek wealth and power, but these things do not bring happiness. We say what matters is to be happy but how to live and enjoy life, and to be happy is not at all clear. 

The relevance of our feral ancestral origins is explained, along with the many animal characteristics that persist in our lives today. Our anatomy and physiology is very animal, and our behaviour reflects the primitive tribal village mentality of our ancient forebears. We all have our set behaviour patterns as individuals, and when in groups, in society: and also, there are the set behaviours of national leaders on behalf of their nation.

The author points out how much of the success in life comes from our decisions and on any decision-making skills we have, such as attitude, which can be worked on for success.

We use words without having a clear idea what their real meaning is, and that may compromise the listener’s understanding. The author tackles difficult concepts and defines what love is, and what the word God and the devil can mean He writes it is best to deny the exitance of fate, and explains clearly some long-established behavioural precepts such as the Seven Deadly Sins, the Eight Beatitudes and the Ten Commandments, and why their message is important to anyone and everyone, whether of any or no faith. Our inborn primordial instinct  naturally questions if there is an after-life, and for both believers and non-believers, this book offers an acceptable answer that can suit anyone.

This book is both enjoyable to read and to study due to its comprehensive detail. Its aspects of practical philosophy and sociology can also be a reference for those whose role it is to help others achieve more happiness and contentment.’
