A User’s Manual for the Human Experience

Today Michael W. Dean brings us A User’s Manual for the Human Experience.

Learn to block and delete idiots from your life. Remove addiction to bad people, drugs, alcohol, government and more (WITHOUT MEETINGS!) Then use your new-found time and energy to MAKE A LIVING DOING WHAT YOU LOVE, like the author does.

A USER’S MANUAL FOR THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE is a libertarian manifesto for getting healthy, getting brilliant, maximizing potential and changing the world.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT THIS BOOK:
“Part intellectual memoir, part self-help book. Michael W. Dean’s Practical Emotional Self-Defense (PESD) techniques flow from a wealth of life experiences, both positive and negative. ‘The Only Two Rules in Life’ have some radical, refreshing implications.” –Jason Sorens, Ph.D. (Assistant Professor, University at Buffalo, SUNY), founder of the Free State Project

“You owe yourself the opportunity to step outside your comfort zone and put yourself in the court with this modern-day Socrates.”
–Pastor Kenneth V. Blanchard, Sr., author of Black Man with a Gun

“I knew Michael Dean back in the day, when he was a 19-year-old punk rocker with an appetite for self-destruction. I honestly didn’t think he’d live to be 30. But guess what? It turns out that Michael isn’t just a survivor; he’s a survivor who’s learned how to enjoy life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness after recovery. For everyone who wants to know how to stay sane, develop a great work ethic, and make a mark on the world, Michael Dean has a great story to tell.”
–Professor Michael Bérubé, Ph.D. (Penn State), author of What’s Liberal About the Liberal Arts? and Life as We Know It

    This book has been very helpful and I have gained a lot of insight from it. I own a copy of the paperback version, but hearing the authors words directly from him has made me realize how strongly he stands behind them. So I recommend that you listen to this book, do the homework assignments, and live a happier, healthier life. :)

    Once again Michael W. Dean hits the nail on the head, and hearing these bits of wisdom in his own words and voice carries his message just that much stronger. Interesting lives make for interesting people, and the author definitely has a corner on the market for both. Allow his life experience to help you make your own life better as he takes what should be common sense, but unfortunately isn’t for a lot of people, and breaks it down into a language everyone can understand . . . and of course sprinkles it with the intelligent and articulate variety of humor that only MWD can get away with. MWD gives you the tools you need to do what I’ve always called “looking at your life from outside the box”, which will allow you to put at least some of your emotions aside long enough to make rational, intelligent decisions making your life a better place to be in the process. No 12 step program needed, just 2: 1. Download, and 2. LISTEN. Then sit back and watch the Serenity Vampires drop like flies. Entertainment has never been so useful.

    Actually, I’ve just listened one episode, but I did not like the book. There were lots of descriptions, explanations about vocabulary that made me bored and confused. The emphasis on the audience of book was irrelevant and boring as well. I would not recommend.

    I could not make it past episode 2. This ’self help’ book is more like those bad stories your dad used to try to tell you to teach you about life, you know, the ones he would break out on long car trips when you couldn’t get away.

    The title and teaser copy almost seem like they belong to another book. The author tends to ramble along and someplace there is a point in there somewhere – frequently I would miss it and have to go back only to think “well DUH”

    Maybe it gets better towards the end…
