An open and running commentary on the many struggles of life in the modern world - as written from the perspective of an average man. This book is a straightforward and unflinching examination of the many issues affecting the lives of people today, by addressing various topics surrounding economics, mental health, substance abuse, the loss of faith, national identity and the rise of socialism in the west. Each chapter is presented as a dialogue and touches upon a multitude of social and cultural issues found not just in the United States but also the world at large. The express intention of this book is not to assert that my opinions are the only ones worth listening to - but to point out the hardship and turmoils that the average person is experiencing in a world which is increasingly dominated by left-wing political ideologies.
