The Naked Guide for Life

About the Book

This is the book I wish I had the opportunity to read when I was young. It is chock full of information, advise, guidelines, suggestions, admonitions and directions concerning the most serious and common things people struggle with throughout life. They are presented in a simplistic, basic, bare-bones, unadorned (naked) fashion suitable for any demographic subset or in plain word, anyone. It presents details of those significantly meaningful things that are good or bad for you with the exclusion of those of insignificance. As observed in over forty years of medical and psychiatric practice, this is the compilation of and reflections on the more serious errors of attitude or logic which limit our capacity to live life to its fullest.
