Get Right To Do Right: Teaching Common Sense

Get Right to Do Right: The Teaching of Common Sense is a straight-talking guide for anyone tired of repeating the same mistakes and wondering why nothing changes.

Dennis J. Ackman draws from addiction, recovery, trucking, family, faith, and hard-earned life lessons to explain a simple truth: before you can consistently do right, you have to get right on the inside.

Through honest stories, humor, Scripture, and practical tools—including the pre-trip, mirrors and gauges, HALT, planning, accountability, attitude, and effort—GRDR helps readers recognize warning signs, diagnose the real problem, and make better decisions before another wreck happens.

This is not a book about pretending to have life figured out. It is about honesty, responsibility, common sense, and learning to stop blaming the road when the real problem may be behind the wheel.

Jesus is the foundation. GRDR is the tool.

Whether you are rebuilding after addiction, repairing relationships, trying to lead your family better, or simply tired of living in reaction mode, this book offers a practical path forward:

Get your thinking right.
Get your heart right.
Then do the next right thing.
