I’ve spent the last twenty years reading and exploring trying to figure out what truly matters in life. I wanted to understand where meaning and purpose come from. I’ve researched religion and science, history and philosophy and put what I’ve learned into a simple and concise framework
.
A Better Ten Commandments: A Guide to Living Life with, and On Purpose is the foundation of what will be many book in the A Better Ten series. New titles will come in the near future on some societies more pressing issues in life.

I want to let my struggles trying figure how to lead a life well lived shorten others path to fulfillment.
I want to lighten your burden in this confusing and chaotic world ...

My Big Why

So ... why did I quit my job? Why did I write A Better Ten Commandments?  Why would I walk away 150k a year career? What is my big why? The short answer is freedom. A longer one is that I want to be able to live my life on my terms. I want to do what I want, where I want, when I want, with whom I want. I wish to share my ideas with the world.  I wish to have a positive impact on people's lives and Read more of this blog post »

“The Chinese philosophy of the Yin and Yang symbolizes how seemingly opposing forces are complementary and interconnected. How does one appreciate the light without experiencing the dark? How can there be good without evil, order without chaos, or life without death?”
James Miller, A Better Ten Commandments: A Guide to Living Life With, and on Purpose

“The type of love I’m speaking of is platonic and given with no expectations. This type of love is selfless, not transactional. And the true wonder and beauty of this type of love is that if you expect nothing, then everything given you will truly be a blessing. Obviously, there is a long list of barriers to accomplishing this end; selfishness, racism, tribalism, and nationalism are but a few. I’d also add religion to that list, as at the root of every belief system is in-group and out-group thinking.”
James Miller, A Better Ten Commandments: A Guide to Living Life With, and on Purpose

“How did we end up in a world where a man like Joshua Milton Blahyi, popularly known as “General Butt Naked,” could enlist children as soldiers, then cannibalize and offer them as a blood sacrifice, and be responsible for the death of at least 20000 people, yet go on to start a ministry preaching the gospel of Christ and expect to be redeemed, not only by his victims, but by the creator of the universe for eternity?”
