Each of the 39 chapters in this book addresses a different problem. The chapter begins with a description of the problem, followed by a discussion of the previous attempts to solve it, and an explanation of why such attempts have fallen short. A solution is then presented that addresses these shortcomings.

Along the way, challenge questions related to the problem at hand are presented to the reader, who is invited to ponder them before proceeding to the next page for the solution.

The ideas and proposals presented in this book are likely to be considered radical by some, and will require the reader to think outside the matrix of our cultural indoctrination.
