Book excerpt: As a former thief, drug abuser, street-fighting trouble-maker, Mr. Applebee was heading for disaster. However, one day he was listening to a radio talk show host and it changed his life forever. He never cared about morality until this faceless voice over the airwaves made it perfectly clear to him he wasnat going anywhere in life unless he understood what virtues and values were all about, and from that moment on, he made up his mind to study the worldas religions and philosophies in order to discover for himself the meaning of life and what it meant to be a truly moral human being. After he devoted himself to this book (which took him over twelve years to research and seven years to write), he finally achieved his goal of laying out common sense moral principles that are universally recognized around the globe. And although much of his book will be seen as extremely controversial, his rock-solid foundations simply cannot be dismissed or ignored by anyone who takes the subjects of religion, politics, or ethics seriously. If you want to learn the basics of morality; if youare looking to expand your moral paradigm; if youare up for an easy-to-read, yet thought-provoking, page turner, then you have come to the right place.
