Book Description HTML

What does it mean to say, ‘I am pleasure’ or, ‘I am love’, instead of simply saying I seek pleasure or I seek love? When we consider these statements in the first person present tense, how do we feel about them? Remember Ghandi’s famous quote: ‘Be the change you want to see in the world’. Being the change may include being the pleasure and the love we wish to see in the world. Twenty-one Levels of Self-Deception looks at these very personal questions of love, pleasure, beauty and grace. The book seeks to explore them within the broad contexts of human thought — always mindful, as the title suggests — that in arriving at 'final' answers we are often, if not always, deceiving ourselves.

Printed copies of my books are distributed free from various outlets, including ‘Little Free Libraries’. Original pen and ink illustrations are distributed free under the title of ‘Art for All’. Most of my writing is non-fiction and the subjects addressed are philosophy, spirituality, politics, climate change and the peace movement.
