Life's Operating Manual: With the Fear and Truth Dialogues by Tom Shadyac

 Life's Operating Manual: With the Fear and Truth Dialogues by Tom Shadyac is a book of short essays and conversations between Fear and Truth. The book starts out with an old Native American legend about two wolves; one bad (fear), and the other good (truth). The author goes on to say that we each have two wolves inside us and which one wins depends on which wolf we feed, fear or truth.

 In each chapter of the book the author focuses on different aspects of our lives and humanity as a whole and then has a dialogue at the end between fear and truth.

 One of the main points of this book is that humans are not hardwired for competition, we are hardwired to live in cooperation with each other.  The author also argues that we are not hardwired for negativity but rather to live positively and that is why we are so captivated with negativity in the news, because it goes against what comes naturally to us as human beings.

 I found this book to be a quick, short, and easy read. I read it through all at once and could not put it down. My favorite part of the book was the dialogues between fear and truth at the end of each chapter. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to challenge their current world view.

 I acknowledge that I received this book free from Hay House in exchange for my unbiased opinion of the book.
