Freedom of Thought Michael Chandler Puskar

What is freedom of thought? Freedom of thought may seem simple enough. In reality, achieving freedom of thought is actually quite complicated. Throughout one's life, you are bombarded with people around you trying to influence your thoughts, views, and opinions. From the time you are an infant, people are trying to shape your world view regardless of whether they are parents, other family, friends, teachers, or neighbors. The media is constantly trying to sway your view. Advertisers are trying to convince you to buy their products. Flyers try to convince you to come to a new event. Politicians try to convince you to vote for them. Such influences constantly alter our path of thinking, often without us realizing it. On top of all of this, our own mind often plays tricks on us and lies to ourselves. Not only do we often have a hard time keeping facts straight, our emotions also tend to get the best of us and can overwhelm us with problems. So how do we sort all of this out to achieve mental clarity and freedom? That is what this book is about.
