Publisher's Synopsis
We live in a time of conflict. People have very little patience for one another, and the values of the past have been replaced with the destructive action of the present. How does such a society survive? This book surveys the solution. Virtues have always been the relational glue that holds societies together. When we give ourselves over to our lesser attributes, then chaos soon follows. This is the nature of evil. It distorts our original design as social and productive creatures. How To Not Suck at Life is all about restoring virtues to our postmodern society. Change can often be beneficial to societies, but there are some ideals that must never fade away. The virtues are one of these ideals. This book is written for all people of all faith and backgrounds. We must agree to live in peace with one another. The virtues will show us the way.
