My Life Values I- described in 21 Reflections and 97 Food for Thoughtaf George Manus

In this book, the first of two, author George Manus has compromised with his basic philosophy about experience, which briefly states that: You must be master of your own experiences, as that is the only way you can progress, Think about the experiences you have benefited from in life, especially where you believe they have been important for your own development whatever your age.

Should it be possible to be master of oness own experiences, one must as a starting point acquire a solid platform to stand on, understood as having a clear perception of lifes most important values and a balanced basis for meeting lifes challenges. For this, it goes without saying that one should listen to the experience of others.

The author sees himself as an autodidact but believes that he has acquired a reasonably solid platform to stand on.

Honest self-awareness gives you a solid platform to stand on in life, and is a gift not given to all; many must work towards that goal themselves, like I have done, and this is where these books, as an example, shows you how I have exposed my honest self-awareness, and thereby got a more solid platform from where to stand up to lifes challenges.

Inspiration to gather the content and publish this book, he says, comes from readers of his previous books, and two of them in particular: "217 Reflections" and "Food for Thought - 1001 Short reflections".

In this book he has chosen 21 Reflections about Life Values from the first mentioned book, and 97 Food for Thought from the second.

A book for all ages about My Life Values and Attitudes without reference to religion and politics.
