DESCRIPTION:
This book deals with LIFE AMPLIFICATION through Practical Emotional Self-Defense, or PESD, which is a four-pronged approach:
–Blocking and removing SVs (serenity vampires) from your life
–Eliminating the underlying anguish caused by previous SVs
–Keeping SVs out of your life to give you more energy, happiness and free time
–Using that energy, happiness and time to become more effective in business, love, family, art, and life
SUMMARY OF CONCEPT:
A User’s Manual for the Human Experience is a book on recovery (without meetings) from codependence, drugs and alcohol. Our main focus is “Removing toxic patterns and blocking serenity vampires from your life so you have more time and energy to do everything you want to do.”
We teach the “Only Two Rules in Life” as they apply to everything.
A User’s Manual for the Human Experience is a total guide for life on the planet Earth. The book teaches you to permanently block idiots from your world, then teaches time-management and life-management, to better utilize your energies after you “clean house.”
A User’s Manual for the Human Experience synthesizes these practical concepts into an integrated and easy-to-digest blueprint for life.

Thanks man:) Just picked up the book today, it looks awesome and I can’t wait to start reading it. Even when opening the book at random it all seems so relevant. I know so many people who’ll dig this.

I try to do what I can, and am really glad when it resonates!

I am in the middle of the book after 3 days - takes more time to think it over than I expected. Besides the excellent coverage of the subject I have a great pleasure of experiencing the Michaele’s language.
Will write more after finishing the reading!!!

“I have a great pleasure of experiencing the Michael’s language.”
This was one of the hardest parts of proofreading this book, I kept wanting to change some of Micheal’s grammar. I do truly enjoy his writing, it just took me a bit to get used to his easy use of the language. But once I got the hang of his style, proofreading was fun and fairly easy, as there were not a lot of typos.
So when do we start the next project?
Just kidding, rest, recover, and enjoy some time with DJ.

Yeah, people always want to “correct” my writing. When I really just want genuine typos fixed, and any places where I contradict myself pointed out.
I guess that’s one reason I like self-publishing more. I don’t make as much money as with the books written for pay, but I have veto power over my editors, which I don’t have with my “day job” books. I’ve actually argued long and hard (and lost) with an editor over things like her wanting to change where I wrote “we were all about the rock” to “we very much enjoyed playing rock music.” I’d point out that I was writing the way I spoke, the way people speak, and my editor was trying to correct me to “King’s English”, which is NOT the way people speak. At least not anyone I know.
And editors often try to stop me from intentionally using incomplete sentences (like above where I wrote “At least not anyone I know.”), even though people speak in them all the time.
But I’m right and they’re wrong, and my book sales prove it, so do all the user reviews that say “he writes in a conversational manner” and “reading his books are like having a friend sitting next to you explaining things.”

One should write in much the same manner that one speaks; one must constantly remind oneself to do it thus. For to do otherwise may make one’s work unreadable, I dare say.
Wait. What the McFuck was THAT?!
