Book Description
America finds itself in a time of crisis. For anyone remotely in touch with the state of our republic, there is a growing sense of dread that whatever is wrong is getting much worse much faster. Voters clamor for "change," and politicians promise to deliver, but does anyone really know what changes are necessary, or even what changes they want? Is America still the land of opportunity? Is it still the land of the free? Do we still know what freedom is? This book attempts to answer those questions. To do so, it goes back to the beginning to rediscover the meaning behind our most sacred words, and the truth about our natural rights. The answers that this book provides will surprise even the most informed reader, and will reveal the long-forgotten secret behind America's former prosperity and greatness.

Book Description
The Return of Common Sense addresses how special interest groups and their indoctrinologists have fundamentally changed the core of American society, shifting its public and private policy from a citizen-driven democracy to special-interest elitism, where the narrow needs of a few, however contrary to what most people would consider common sense, are imposed on all. Such self-serving policies, by definition, ignore the broader picture, leaving society to suffer the consequences. We end up with ponderous, invasive mazes like the Internal Revenue Service (whose policies are so convoluted, its own agents do not fully understand them) and force citizens to depend on specialists who themselves cannot agree on a course of action. Such a forced abdication of personal responsibility is clearly seen in Medicine and the Mental Health fields, where a strangling focus by special interests on their perceived needs of the patient disregards the implications to the whole of society. This ultimately undermines the original intent of helping the patient, who after all, must be able to function in society himself. This book will provide you with tools to understand these shifts and help return common sense to our public and private lives. It will explain, in a straightforward manner, how our understanding of human nature influences our choices, even in public policy. Get ready to find out why you believe or behave a certain way, and why some highly intelligent, rational, and caring people, given the same facts, can arrive at such different policy conclusions as those expressed by conservatives and liberals. Discover the neuro-biological underpinnings of the timeless conflicts represented by Hollywood vs.business, or why Suzy is an accountant and Mary an entertainer. Find out why Johnnie is a rebel without a cause; and explore the contradictions inherent in the harmony of nature vs. the madness of crowds issues. Understand how conflicts between concepts of human nature and ways of acquiring knowledge advocated by indoctrinologists in the Mental Health fields, are the cause of the public's confusion and a major contributor of the stigma attached to the same patients they are trying to help. No matter what issue you are trying to understand, this book will challenge you to be generally right and avoid been precisely wrong. About the Author Felix R. Toro, M.D. is a physician specializing in the diverse presentation of behavioral, cognitive and emotional disorders in medicine. He has helped develop multiple programs integrating different disciplines in addressing behavioral healthcare issues, pioneering the Common Sense approach to Psychiatry and Mental Health.

Book Description
“Brilliant, wise, profound and persuasive. Common Sense for the 21st Century will come to be recognized as a classic of political theory.”—George Monbiot, via Twitter An urgent, essential, and practical call to action from a cofounder of Extinction Rebellion What can we all do to avert catastrophe and avoid extinction? Roger Hallam has answers. In Common Sense for the 21st Century, Roger Hallam, cofounder of Extinction Rebellion, outlines how movements around the world need to come together now to start doing what works: engaging in mass civil disobedience to make real change happen. The book gives people the tools to understand not only why mass disruption, mass arrests, and mass sacrifice are necessary but also details how to carry out acts of civil disobedience effectively, respectfully and nonviolently. It bypasses contemporary political theory, and instead is inspired by Thomas Paine, the pragmatic 18th-century revolutionary whose pamphlet Common Sense sparked the American Revolution. Common Sense for the 21st Century urges us to confront the truth about climate change and argues forcefully that only a revolution of society and the state, similar to the turn that Paine urged the Americans to take into the political unknown, can save us now.
