Chapter 1: A Briefing¹

This book is designed to bring you along on a flight into alternate futures. Please keep your seat harness firmly locked and your disappearing apps stored during take offs, landings and weightless periods. Our mission is to open your minds and hearts to the wonderful tools for improving our quality of life from educating perspective parents and their children in child rearing through college, career, retirement and the completion of life with dignity. We can make available to everyone better ways to do most everything. We know that most of our tools and ways to use them were the product of past trial and error. They were not designed (typically) by having empathy for the problem in depth and/or considering multiple possible alternatives. Man, by nature, is pragmatic and seldom initially designs the right tools for the job. This is changing.
