All the while, more and more pressure being put on kids at younger and younger ages to succeed, piling more and more work on them at younger ages, and is it working? Obviously not.

The more money poured into it, the worse the test scores get, and children graduating that can’t make basic change. As far as the educational system goes, it seems to be a black hole for money. Too many people are seeming to base their worth on whether vague acquaintances or complete strangers “like” something they have shared on a social media platform. I think her viewpoint on these should be broadcast loudly. I found Renee’s perspective on those refreshing and totally going contrary to mainstream thought. I disagreed with the religious views, but agreed whole-heartedly with Renee Paule’s take on social media and how our children are being educated. I disagreed with some things, but agreed with others. Just Around The Bend definitely gives one food for thought. Dilly is a thought form that thinks and he depicts some of our most endearing (and not so endearing) human traits. Unusually, for its genres (self-help, philosophy etc.), it’s illustrated with a little character I designed and call Dilly (which means something or someone remarkable). ‘Just Around The Bend: Más o Menos’ is my second book. You’re not alone and help is always available … far closer than you imagine.

Paying close attention to our thoughts, reactions and feelings can be scary at first but it reveals a great deal about us and is well worth the effort. I know the daily grind keeps many of us way too busy to stop and consider – or care – about the mysteries of life let alone homilies like ‘Know Thyself’’ we have enough problems with ‘Where are my keys?’ But if you’re up to examining your ‘mind’ whilst I examine mine, then turn the book over and let’s get started. What you’ll find is a series of essays that examine some diverse topics about human nature, looked at from an unusual perspective and written in a way you may not have read before – plain English. That’s great, but if they’re what you’re looking for you won’t find them in this book. Please see our reviews and our interview with the author below!Īpparently, just around the bend is where we’ll find everything we’ve been looking forward to including world peace, winning the lottery and a blissful retirement.
