About this title

Synopsis:

This is an inspiring work which explains the way outsiders need to apply themselves to gain something substantive from life. The reader is given a stark appreciation of their world and how fickle, meaningless and absurd it appears to them. The book destroys many of the illusions which underpin people's assertions today. It argues that in many instances there is no real rationale behind what people do or aspire to in modern life as the way their lives transpire is usually dependent on the things they are conditioned to value or accept as authentic. Many readers will be able to identify with the essentially human traits outsiders possess. Their conception of freedom and truth must be something that is capable of being applied to have any value to them. They do not believe they are limited in any way for doing what they set their mind to, but unfortunately modern society is designed in such a way which scuppers their ability to express or be themselves. This book is a testament to the human spirit in overcoming the impediments within society which stifle the outsiders' freedom. It argues that outsiders must preserve their uniqueness as individuals to derive any value from life. They need to grasp the opportunity to project themselves, often through a more creative medium, to discover a quantifiable purpose and meaning within their lives.
