Adventure Lessons tells the story of one man’s difficult (often crazy and dangerous) journey away from his religious upbringings toward the path of naturalistic enlightenment.  It is told through a collection of true stories, the misadventures of his travels around the world.  Each story provides a real life lesson.  Some of the lessons include:

Why you shouldn’t lie; Why you shouldn’t steal; How to conquer your fears; How to keep stress from controlling your life; Most importantly - How to be more human.

Each moral is presented with cause and effect logic, free of mystical elements.  The stories are told in a fast paced exciting style that will keep you turning the pages.
