This is a book of wisdom that I have accumulated in the 41 years I’ve been alive. Wisdom is ideas that will help you understand and navigate life. You collect your own wisdom through experience, by doing things in the world, and making mistakes. The more experiences you have, the more wisdom you will gain. I’ve packed as many experiences as I possibly could into my 41 years of life, and I’m going to write down as much of that wisdom as I can in this book.

I found that when reading wisdom from other people, it can take a while to incorporate it into your own worldview. Someone else’s wisdom might not make sense until you have some context for it, like having similar experiences.

All of these things may not help you right now, but I feel sure it will help you at some point in your life. The reason I am publishing this book on a webpage is so that I can continually update, add and delete from this book until I die. I am constantly learning new things, attaining new perspectives, having experiences and gaining wisdom, and so information in this book won’t be static. At any given time, there could be things in this book that are completely wrong, and I would need to gain a new perspective or have a particular experience to acquire the truth of something. I’ve had many revelations in my life, which are realizations that shift a large part of my worldview. I will talk about most of these revelations later in the book.

Wisdom is universal, in that, for the most part, it applies to everyone everywhere. These ideas didn’t all originate in my head. I’ve gained a lot of this wisdom from reading other people’s books. In fact, I found that most books contain the author’s wisdom, either on the surface or buried into the depths of a novel. The wisdom in this book is a collection; I can’t take credit for originating or owning any of this wisdom, it’s just all things that I’ve learned in my life.

I hope that you guys can read this book and incorporate a lot of this wisdom into your lives without having to make the same mistakes that I made. I hope that this book helps you avoid problems that I’ve had in my life, and I hope that this knowledge helps you, and your kids, and your grandkids, to live easier, happier, and more fulfilling lives.
