A practical guide toward a more evolved society

"Bail Yourself Out" describes how our current global situation is rooted in the evolution of the entire universe. This book explains, in simple terms, that our world functions through the interaction of two universal forces: giving and receiving. Nature is in perfect balance with these forces while Humanity is not, and it shows how this imbalance has created the entire disharmony in our world. "Bail Yourself Out" illustrates how to bring every aspect of human society, from media to education, into balance with these forces. By creating this balance, we will emerge from our current global crisis into a safer, healthier, and more beautiful world. This book is a practical guide toward a more evolved society and a must read for anyone who is concerned about our future.

A unique perspective on how to respond to financial woes

Professor of Ontology (with a Ph.D. in Philosophy and Kabbalah) Michael Laitman presents Bail Yourself Out: How You Can Emerge Strong from the World Crisis, a unique self-help guide written in response to the current global economic crisis... emphasizing that the root of the crisis is not financial, but rather psychological. When people have too little trust in each other, trade and credit markets freeze up, replaced by isolation, paralysis, and in extreme cases, economic collapse. Furthermore, Laitman asserts that this epidemic of mistrust stems from a natural process that has been evolving over millennia. Therefore, the key to resolving economic woes is to first understand the process that has fomented such alienation, by drawing upon all available mans of communication (books, TV, internet, newspapers, public libraries) and then revamping one's relationships. The bedrock of justified trust is built from collaboration and compassion, traits that need to be cultivated in oneself and others in order to promote economic as well as psychological well-being. A unique perspective on how to respond to financial woes, Bail Yourself Out is highly recommended as a useful self-help supplement to books that focus solely on financial nuts and bolts.

What is required to come through the crisis and achieve balance.

This is a wonderful story and a step by step guide to attaining reality, true perception and finding the meaning of life. Bail Yourself Out explains what is required to come through the crisis we face - any crisis actually - and that is unity and collaboration. Delving into the deeper meaning of give and take as a way of life and showing that nature uses this method to achieve balance puts emphasis on the very real need society has for this same balance. Especially interesting to me was how Abraham identified and investigated the lack of unity while a citizen of Babel, the results of his efforts and the realization that unity is the only path to salvation. At first reading the solution to the crisis seemed simple, give and take, not difficult. However, the concept is so foreign to human beings, in order to implement this concept it takes practice, concentration and determination. When viewed through the lens of friends caught in a difficult situation, unity and working together to the goal becomes less an individual task and evolves into a team of likeminded friends. This, I think, is the true meaning of unity. The author shows how the wisdom of Abraham's discoveries about unity, give and take and nature in balance is a lesson reserved for our time. It's apparent we must achieve this balance in order to make it through the crisis. Bail Yourself Out is a book that describes how this can be done.
