100 Reality Checks - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

100 Reality Checks includes a set of alternatives to many popular assumptions and sayings, including maxims, axioms, proverbs, quotes, prevailing theories and the like. The point of its reality checks is that you need not pretend anything said or assumed is true just because it sounds or feels good. If you develop the habit of funding your own reality checks, your mental wealth will flourish.

Unlike many books that are intended to be helpful, this one is not a bore. Instead, it's a picture book, oriented horizontally like a check book. It's organized into the following chapters, each with a different artistic look: Positivity and Negativity; Success; Career and Business; Love and Relationships; Health; Beauty; Parenting and Children; Resolving Problems; Role Models and Leaders; Teams; Faith; Truth and Sincerity; One-Offs; and Quantity and Quality. But don't worry about organized reading. You can open up 100 Reality Checks and read from any page, just like any good coffee-table book.

Despite its 100 Reality Checks title, this book does not presume there is only one truth or reality. It does, however, acknowledge that too many people spend too much time deceiving themselves and others, often unintentionally. Somewhere inside each of us is a compass that tells us what is true and real. Life can be simpler when we get in touch with that compass. Consequently, this book is designed to help you develop the habit of questioning the amount of truth invested in things you're told and subsequently pass on to others. The hope is that developing that habit will empower you to address life's complexities more effectively.
