A Public Service Announcement to the Dark Side and Other Essays

Publisher Description

We have moral systems aimed at containing our tendency toward destructive behaviour, but their effectiveness has proven to be very limited. Sometimes it seems that our strategies for taming our dark side, from religion to “political correctness”, just make things worse. Maybe an examination of the roots of the problem will suggest a remedy. In this collection of essays, Joe Blow, author of How to Be Free, shines some light into the darkness.
