Freedom
The book that saves the world?
This book claims, in my words, to have “unraveled the truth” required to understand and to reconcile the fundamental source of turmoil within the human condition thereby providing the means to settle our inner turmoil into an inner grace and a source of peace, love, and understanding.
The premise that the source of our woes is simple and is also transformative and redeeming once understood. The premise is so simple that it is hard to believe that it is, in fact, a new premise. If it is true, then it is like the invention of the wheel; the kind of discovery that is so obvious that we all accept it as real and awesome while we all say “Why didn’t I think of that?” That simple premise is that the recent evolution of reason puts us in conflict with our cellular instinct. Have we really never before now put this idea together so clearly and concisely, and is it truly redeeming?
However it may appear to others, It seems to me that there is profound value in coming to terms with an enlightening and accurate self definition, and it seems to me that there is at least something of that in the ideas Jeremy Griffith’s puts forth in his book “Freedom”.
Jeremy speaks well for himself and you can easily find his introductory videos, and even his entire book, online. But here’s my initial reflection.
