Escaping Culture

Through a series of essays, profiles and memoirs, Escaping Culture opens our eyes to a world seen through an independent and different colored lens. It makes the case that we can transform our lives by breaking away from cultural traditions, customs and misplaced loyalties, and in the process gain fresh perspectives, personage and balance. The author explores how introspection and self-sufficiency liberates us from animus, bias, conformity and captivity. His life-altering observations advocate individual autonomy over group dominion, away from the overpowering decree and edicts of race, ethnicity, gender, religion, politics, work, friendships, family and nationality. Consider the author's observations as a handshake between friends. Peruse short, introspective vignettes over morning coffee, at lunch, while traveling, over a cocktail, or in the comfort of your favorite chair after a hectic day.
