THE ABUSING OF AMERICApresents an extremely insightful and compelling look at how our whole modern,American way of life, ultimately and detrimentally, affects us all.? It is a portrayal of how the implementationof many individual and collective goals and priorities, can often result inbeing counterproductive to ourselves and others in society.? Individual and societal abuses continuebecause we have a tendency to patch up symptoms, rather than eradicate rootcauses.? While the book is a serious andfactual examination of what causes the abusiveness found in our society, italso illuminates 20 different paradoxes that perpetuate the continuation ofsuch abuses.? Nonetheless, the authorfinds the capability to appropriately make use of his satirical wit to lampoonthe purveyors who present obstacles that negatively affect our ability toovercome abuses.? It all makes for aninteresting and thought-provoking read.
