Owner's Manual (Homo Sapiens)

About the Book

Unfortunately, we human beings do not come with a ready-made Owner’s Manual to guide us through our individual life journeys. So, we are left with the task of finding or creating one of our own. This book is the result of the author’s own personal search for just such a set of guidelines. He offers it to you, the reader, as a possible starting point for your own personal search. Owner’s Manual (Homo Sapiens) is a step-by-step guide designed to help the serious traveler on the journey of life to identify his or her life goals, to create a plan for achieving them, and to begin putting those plans into effect. It is written in plain, every-day language and is broken down into bite-sized, easy to digest chapters. The book is divided into a number of segments. It begins with The Basics, which suggests an overall life goal of personal happiness and provides a review of the underlying principles of human development. Next comes three segments that help the reader to begin to find the answers to three important questions: “Who am I?” which uses a brief quiz game to identify the reader’s personality type ; “What do I want?” which uses a short, fill-in-the-blanks worksheet to clarify values; and, “How can I get it?” which provides a detailed blueprint to aid personal development.
