Overview

"Fancy words are like taking an old, stinky, worn-out tennis shoe, putting it in a cardboard box, and wrapping it with bright, shiny, colorful paper," says Robin B. Lipinski in the Preface of his intriguing new book, Signs of a Free Mind. His story is not about fancy words but of simplicity. It is about the closed mind each of us harbors, and about how we can all open up and, indeed, "free our minds."

Along the way, Lipinski offers six "exercises" he feels readers can use to free up their thinking and thereby "open themselves up." One of these involves eating foods, for a week, that "you have never tried before," not just food you "currently love."

Overview

"Fancy words are like taking an old, stinky, worn-out tennis shoe, putting it in a cardboard box, and wrapping it with bright, shiny, colorful paper," says Robin B. Lipinski in the Preface of his intriguing new book, Signs of a Free Mind. His story is not about fancy words but of simplicity. It is about the closed mind each of us harbors, and about how we can all open up and, indeed, "free our minds."

Along the way, Lipinski offers six "exercises" he feels readers can use to free up their thinking and thereby "open themselves up." One of these involves eating foods, for a week, that "you have never tried before," not just food you "currently love."

"My purpose," writes the author, "is not to disturb you or shock you or convert you. It is to have you open your mind."

Also emphasized within these pages is what the author calls "the recent demise of marriage in the United States," and he cites what he feels are the cornerstones of marriage, using his own as a basis for much of the discussion. As an added personal touch, Mr. Lipinski refers to his experiences during his tour of duty with the United States Marine Corps, to show how this helped him form his ideas about free thinking.

Thought-provoking, compelling, and timely, Signs of a Free Mind, by Robin B. Lipinski, is must reading for anyone searching for positive change in his or her life.
