FORCES OF LIFE: PSYCHOLOGY:

WHAT CREATES SUCCESS OR FAILURE IN OURSELVES AND OUR CHILDREN


Psychology, Counseling, and Education are at a “tipping point” on the edge of an active volcano. 

In America the suicide rate has gone up from 25,000 a year in the 1970s to 48,000 today, before the isolation of the Covid pandemic; even though we have six times more psychologists, psychiatrists, and counselors today, and despite having 400% more psychoactive medication. We now have police in every school, something unheard of in the 1970s. The suicide rate among our young ages 10 to 34 has jumped to their second leading cause of death, second only to accidents (CDC). https://www.cdc.gov/suicide/facts/index.html
Where did we go wrong? Why have psychology and psychiatry failed us so badly?
We are a nation of very unhappy people. Why?
For thousands of years, our doctors opened people’s veins and bled them to make them well. For decades doctors refused to believe the “germ” theory of disease; that tiny, microscopic organism could kill a big adult. Only after they repeatedly ran slam into reality, were they forced to change.
Psychology, education, and psychiatry today have run slam into reality. We are at that same tipping point. The ideas we learned from our textbooks do not deal with the serious issues of life. What makes for success? How can we deal with the problems of life? 
Yet, the press ignores this, not sensational enough to compete with the magical-mystical words like “DNA” or “magic pills” and ignored by our educational system who should be teaching how simple experiences in life become the forces that determine our life. 
So, what does work?
I am happy to announce that "Forces of Life", 345 pages, is now available on Amazon to cover the most important ways to prevent problems in our lives. You can find it by searching for the book ID: https://www.amazon.com/dp/173600252X
