Christopher Ebbe, Ph.D., has written this book to inform the public about his goals for the country if he were elected President in 2024-most importantly, to return to viewing each other as basic equals, to accept those with different views, and to compromise to solve our mutual problems. Dr. Ebbe would act in accord with true equality (the government taking the needs of each citizen as being just as important as the needs of any other citizen), and he describes ways that we can change our attitude about each other (treating each other as basic equals and with respect and courtesy rather than as foes to be vanquished). The book deals with 130 different issues including truth in politics, reforming the tax system, establishing compromise as the norm for our democracy, reducing income inequality, making elections about electing the best qualified candidate (instead of being a popularity contest), ending government borrowing, abortion, revising our immigration policy, climate change, China, and how our two-party system is not good for the country. (There will also be a website with blog and issue videos at www.ebbeforpresident.com.)

This book creates a compelling picture of an approach to living that promotes happiness, acceptance, peace, and cooperation among people across the globe, independent of culture and religious faith. This approach incorporates everything Dr. Ebbe has learned about people in his forty-year psychology career and his near eighty years of living. Clear principles tell you what is needed to improve your life along these lines, in the major areas of your relations with reality, with yourself, with others, and with your emotions. These principles can enable you to seek wisdom, find the truth, have good self-esteem, and have positive relations with others. You will learn how to live a moral and ethical life in any society. Actual, concrete behaviors and skills that are needed to accomplish these changes and achieve these goals are also presented, so you know precisely what you need to do. Also described are how to apply these principles in making good decisions, raising healthy children, managing your emotions, discerning truth, telling right from wrong, and finding meaning, contentment, and fulfilment in life)!

This easy-to-understand but profound book describes origins of painful self-esteem, twelve key steps for improving self-esteem, and reasons why we avoid doing what is needed for positive self-esteem. Instead of exhortation, folksy humor, or behavioral techniques, the book describes principles of living (e.g., respect yourself, accept yourself, love yourself, treat yourself well, etc.) that, if followed, can broadly change one's life and that are also consistent with good psychological, philosophical, and religious practice. It shows how to stand up for oneself and defend oneself against self-esteem injuries from others. The book makes clear how our relationship with ourselves is key to mental health in general.
