About the Book

Let me tell you how much fun it is to be a book writer! One of my friends recently said to me, “I don’t even know anyone who’s ever READ a book, let alone WRITE one!” I was amused.

Well you know it’s really not so hard to write a book. You just talk about what you feel, and organize your thoughts along the way. At some point, as you stay determined to make it happen, the book comes into the world.

For me, now having compiled over 30 book-length manuscripts of various topics and subject matter, I have become more and more inclined to share the way I see the world with others along the way. You might call what I like to write about as having to do with personal philosophy, or individual world view. Everyone has a way they see their world; this book is part of how I see mine.

It seems that all kinds of people have something to say about what life is and is not. I am like most people, so am no exception. I have come to enjoy giving such opinions and points of view with just about anyone who will listen.

I wrote this book, MY WORLD: The First 50 Years, because I wanted to be sure and document the way life appeared to be to me at the half-century mark in my personal growth and evolution. I did it in a way that enables you to read right through it, or, if you prefer, you can take it slowly, over a one-year span of time, and think about the ideas and thoughts carefully. How you read the book is entirely up to you.

Ten years earlier I had written a similar book (Earth Dwelling: An Owner’s Manual for Life) in order to share thoughts about the meaning and purpose of life. It is amazing the difference that ten years can make! I like to think that I am growing! Gee. Could that be? I sure hope so!

People from the worlds of philosophy, religion and the popular culture are anxious to share the way they see the world with others. I have a passion to do that also, and so I wrote this book in order to summarize how things in life appeared to me. I could be way off - you decide for youself. At any rate, my world is MY way of seeing life...in YOUR world, you will see it your special way and that is part of the beauty of this life. Each person is free to see it differently, and that is our basic right to do so.  I like that.

I actually feel so strongly about what I am saying here that I created a web site (which is called HowIseetheworld.com) to talk about and share ideas with others. Take a look at it some time.

Thoughts are powerful, and have a tendency to either make you great, or even destroy you before your time. So, think good thoughts!

And enjoy the book as well!


About the Author

Michael Jean Nystrom-Schut has been writing/publishing for many years, but trying to figure out the meaning to life’s deepest questions for much longer than that. With several decades of experience in education, business and real-life circumstances behind him, the questions, in his mind, still far outweigh the answers.

Michael has spent many years piecing together a worldview that is both effective and reasonable. Failing to find this from the religious and cultural communities, he set out on his own eclectic path of personal enlightenment.

Philosophy of everyday life is important for everyone. Michael understands that, and has actively written many books in an effort to create a pattern of anthological thought that will provide his readers with all of what they need to encounter life in a successful way.

Michael divides his time between homes in the United States and the rain forests of Central America. His quest to leave a comprehensive written legacy of life, is by his own admission, an endless one.
