A USER’S MANUAL FOR THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE<\/i> is a post-modern guide for today’s realist \u2013 everyone who knows that meditating on rainbows, angels and puppies won’t solve anything. It’s a libertarian approach to recovery – from substances, bad people, and lazy work habits. <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT THE BOOK:<\/p>\n

“Part intellectual memoir, part self-help book. Michael W. Dean’s Practical Emotional Self-Defense (PESD) techniques flow from a wealth of life experiences, both positive and negative. ‘The Only Two Rules in Life’ have some radical, refreshing implications.”<\/span>
\n–Jason Sorens, Ph.D. (Assistant Professor, University at Buffalo, SUNY), founder of the Free State Project<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

“You owe yourself the opportunity to step outside your comfort zone and put yourself in the court with this modern-day Socrates.”<\/span>
\n–Pastor Kenneth V. Blanchard, Sr., author of Black Man with a Gun<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI knew Michael Dean back in the day, when he was a 19-year-old punk rocker with an appetite for self-destruction. I honestly didn\u2019t think he\u2019d live to be 30. But guess what? It turns out that Michael isn\u2019t just a survivor; he\u2019s a survivor who\u2019s learned how to enjoy life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness after recovery. For everyone who wants to know how to stay sane, develop a great work ethic, and make a mark on the world, Michael Dean has a great story to tell.”<\/span>
\n–Professor Michael B\u00e9rub\u00e9, Ph.D., author, Life as We Know It<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

NOTE: This book came out in 2009. A lot of the URLs mentioned in the book are now 404, but the book is fine and still helpful without them.<\/p>\n
