Publisher's Synopsis
Are you tired of feeling empty at the end of each day? Learn how to live a simpler and more fulfilling life despite our consumption-driven society! In today's world, nonconformity is stamped out by a society obsessed with the mainstream and fitting in. Individuality takes a back seat to conform to societal expectations. But it doesn't have to be that way. Senex took the leap into a different and better way of living-and so can you! Part self-help book, part philosophical treatise, and part inspirational memoir, Dazed and Confused combines both philosophical and practical observations. Author Adam Senex analyzes Foucault and Nietzsche but is just as likely to find wisdom hidden in the behaviour of his adventurous dogs. Senex's goal is simple: he wants to help you be a better person. He urges everyone to stop moving with the flow of society, numbed by mass media and new technology. Philosophy can't be limited to 140 characters, and personal happiness won't be found in a selfie. Other topics include how to build lasting relationships with your spouse and family, how to find financial happiness (which doesn't necessarily mean striking it rich), and how to live a fulfilling life in an absurdly decadent society. Adam Senex knows what it's like to hit rock bottom. He was in his forties when he realized his life had fallen apart. His financial, romantic, and spiritual worlds had all ended in disaster. He and his wife decided they needed to make a change. Now, ten years later, Senex is a new man. He is recommitted to his wife. He enjoys a creative, exciting life. And he wants to share the secrets of his success with you. In Dazed and Confused, the first in Senex's Getting Better series, he uses examples from his own life to show how simple changes can have a huge impact. Even small steps are progress, and as Senex encourages, progress of any kind is the goal. His practical, easy-to-understand philosophy will inspire you to begin your own transformation into a healthier and happier you.
