This is a BIG book written by a BIG guy with BIG ideas that provides an opportunity for HUGE positive change, personal development, and growth for the reader. Stories and lessons are told in an engaging, captivating manner that are easily understood and immediately applicable to one's life.
A philosophical memoir, I FOUND MY WAY: Training in Paradise with Mike Stone (IFMW), is the first published book of Dr. Shaun D. House, PhD, JD. MBA, and 5th Degree Black Belt. He is a moral philosopher, university professor, licensed attorney, entrepreneur, and martial arts school owner-Traditional Martial Arts Institute LLC.
In IFMW, Dr. House has finally accomplished his overarching goal of reducing complex philosophical concepts to more commonly understandable terms. While this book is a personal philosophical memoir, importantly, it is also an academic endeavor of Field Philosophy and Applied Ethics, offering a new interdisciplinary approach to moral decision-making consistent with Alfred Adler's Individual Psychology, as well as Positive Psychology: The ADBN Method.
Packaged with many life stories of success and personal crisis to buttress many examples of how to successfully apply this new method, numerous citation references of prominent philosophers, traditional martial arts, religious doctrines including Christianity, Zen Buddhism, and others. These include contemporary philosophers, religious scholars, and others from various disciplines including thinkers such as Bertrand Russell, Roshi Shunryu Suzuki, Alfred Adler, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., poet Maya Angelou, and many others including ancient traditionalists like Aristotle and Socrates and a plethora of others from various disciplines.
Including more than 180 beautiful photos and Dr. House's original poetry, IFMW takes the reader on his journey to the Philippines as he embarks on a unique 30-day martial arts and philosophical training experience with the legendary martial artist, author, actor, motivational speaker, the big screen movies' original Black Ninja, and dear friend of the legendary Bruce Lee, Mike Stone. He returned with foundational concepts of his new philosophy.
IFMW is three-books-in-one. Part I (Lost)-Dr. House's personal story as an African American growing up in Texas during the 70's and 80's, with exceptional professional and academic successes and many personal failures and related traumas; Part II (Found)-Dr. House's experiences and new understandings, while on his journey to the Philippines to train Mike Stone; and, Part III (My New Way)-describing and applying the ADBN Method for moral decision-making, providing many insightful stories and examples.
This book is unique, which is immediately evidenced by its physical size and weight offering a new Way; an effective approach to addressing past traumas and daily moral decision-making-personal relationships, family loss, alcoholism, betrayal, and other common difficult matters.
In short, this book allows you to... TAKE YOUR POWER BACK... NOW!
