Frank has never aspired to be an author. He’s too busy walking his talk and doing more important things than marketing himself, networking, and chasing fame and fortune…
But, in his waning years, he derives much meaning by putting what he’s learned about life in writing and sharing these lessons so that others might avoid digging the same dry wells and chasing the same booby prizes as he did. That’s what these pamphlets are all about…

Why Are You Here?
An Existential-Humanistic Meditation on the Meaning of Life
For those rare and precious souls who are humble enough to admit their ignorance, curious enough to keep asking questions, and honest enough to accept the answers—no matter how inconvenient those answers might be.
It’s for those mature enough to abandon all childish notions of morality, those who find no comfort in conformity with the herd, and those who dare to challenge the gatekeepers and powers that be. It’s for those who have the courage to define their own values and the integrity to live accordingly.
Why Are You Here? is a deep dive into the question we all answer, for better or worse, with everything we do or fail to do each and every day. But this is no feel-good book. You will find no promises, easy answers, or chicken-soup-for-the-soul platitudes here. What you will find is more like castor oil for the soul. While sobering and humbling, may you find these pages to be therapeutic, liberating, and empowering—and use them to transform life from something that merely happens to you into something that happens because of you.

Bullshit 101
A Primer on Being Real in a World Full of Lies
Given our species’ capacity for strife, injustice, and cruelty in the name of so many patent falsehoods, the separation of fact from fiction is an urgent and deadly serious matter.
To that end, Bullshit 101 is one man’s sincere attempt to deconstruct and rise above the racket of superstitious, partisan, nationalistic, materialistic, and tribal nonsense that plagues us all.
Think of these pages as a crash course in reclaiming your humanity in a world full of lies.
First, as a penetrating examination of the nature of the beast: the insidious ways that falsehoods infiltrate our daily lives… the psychology behind its creation, acceptance, and spread… an exposé of the perpetrators and their sinister tactics… the widespread damage done as a result of false belief… and why bullshit is such a tough nut to crack.
Second, as a how-to manual for inoculating yourself against being duped, manipulated, and exploited by bullshit and dozens of empowering ways to fight back.
And third, as a celebration of the good, the true, and the beautiful along with words of hope and encouragement for people of goodwill who struggle every day to self-actualize and contribute to a more rational, honest, and compassionate society.
