The Way We Are is in reality an encyclopedia dealing with what is going on around you during each stage of your life, from early childhood until retirement. At each step of the way, it will describe the basic truths of the situation and, where applicable, will show how these facts may be distorted as they are presented to you. It will guide you through the labyrinth of choices that you must make, asking such questions as where did the idea come from? What is its goal? Does it make sense? Are there any other sides to the issue? Are there any negative side effects? And finally, is it right for me? Think! Separate chapters deal with such issues as why the first five years of a child's life are so important and what teenagers need to know about peer pressure as they break away from family ties. There are some words of wisdom on love, marriage, and sex; on smoking, alcohol, and drugs; on how to get the best job; what to expect as you climb the ladder to success; how to avoid retirement shock; and more! Read this book now and then put it aside to be read again as you reach each new crossroad. Follow it and you can gain the happiness that you so desire! Think!
