This book is a timely classic. You will be entertained, enlightened, enriched and energized by the wisdom and frankness of Paul and Paulette, as an archetypal couple, participating on a national opinion poll panel. Believing that they are Average Americans, Paul and Paulette are committed to knowledgeably responding to a special set of survey questions as Conscious Citizens. The set of survey questions were initially generated by a non-partisan Think Tank to collect American's views on a list of top problems in the country in 2024. The Survey Questions specifically touch upon 16 topic areas, which include Inflation, Healthcare, Drug Addiction, Violent Crime, Federal Budget Deficits, Climate Change, Racism, Terrorism, Unemployment and others. However, the "e;Stars of the Show"e; are the 114 Tough Questions that Paul and Paulette unknowingly generate, while consciously suppressing the subconscious thoughts that naturally control most of our lives. This unique set of Tough and necessary questions is inherently intertwined with each of the 16 topic areas. The author believes that authentic and non-partisan answers to these questions can help provide the attention, and the deeper understanding of the broader issues needed to drive a more realistic perspective on what's best for the country, and national unity, as a whole. The Conscious Citizen is a book you will read, never forget, and readily share with family, friends and neighbors.
