THE POWER OF US

By implementing these kinds of "us"-thinking solutions, we can realize all of the benefits of an economic system which works for all. We can fix our system instead of  dismantling it by resorting to socialism. The Power of Us and Web Article #2 on the website both address this issue in differing ways that center around the idea of making our economics work in a circlar staircase up instead of a trickle down.

By implementing these kinds of "us"-thinking solutions, we can realize all of the benefits of an economic system which works for all of us while also providing increased innovation and consumer satisfaction. 

We have all seen the news about childhood bullying in this country, and have been called on to raise our awareness of the issue; but what the news doesn't talk about is how this is caused by adult bullying, and that it is not an isolated issue. The Power of Us takes aim at this problem and briefly suggests that it isn't a situation of "boys will be boys" and "girls are mean," but that bullying; specifically childhood bullying; are a result of "men will be men" and "women are mean." Children learn by modeling adults. They did not invent bullying and bring it home to us. 

Acknowledging this is how we defeat bullying; not just for children; but for all of us.

In The Power of Us, I asserted that our current administration of the practice of mental health is anything but mentally healthy. In the concluding section of The Power of Us, I outlined that one possible solution to the currently practice of pathologizing individuals for interventions was to add an element of self-discovery in order to make mental health practice about thriving in addition to simply coping. As an extension of this, I have published my second book, Self-Discovery Therapy (SDT) ~Knowing Yourself is How You Succeed~, available soon!

By implementing the proposals within of The Power of Us and Self-Discovery Therapy, and on this website's Web Article #4 "Mental Diversity" we can begin to realize the end of stigma in mental health, and between each other.

The Power of Us proposes many ideas for the amelioration of the drug epidemic that focuses on better regulatory infrastructure, and better drug treatment for individuals that get at the root causes of drug abuse and drug overdose. My second book Self-Discovery Therapy (SDT) is part of the proposed upgrade for better drug treatment from a mental health perspective. Effectively abstaining from drug use is best achieved by learning or re-learning to love ourselves, and taking responsibility built on this.

Acknowledging this and taking action accordingly is the first step to a broader acceptance of a drug-free society, and a society with less drug abuse is a safer society for all of us.

The homelessness problem is a problem for both the homeless themselves and those that are tasking themselves with helping resolve the problem. It is a problem of too much of the wrong kind of kindness to themselves and the clients that they serve respectively. It is further complicated and caused by all of the aforenoted social issues, and is truly a seemingly insurmountable problem to solve; but it is not. The Power of Us illustrates a compelling idea for serving these embattled populations. 

Along with the proposals within the book, a higher expectation of non-profits to be producing real quarterly results like a corporation in order to receive continued funding will go very far towards making society a welcoming and secure place for all of us.
