Investigating journalism meets inspirational expressions as Levy explores education, finance, media, mythology, religion, science, philosophy and ancient traditions.

In Cutting Truths, probing questions are asked;

Are religions based on superstition and fallacies?

Can newspapers, magazines, Internet blogs, TV news and other media outlets be trusted to deliver truthful reports?

If we lose faith in people who deceive where can we turn for authentic information?

Alternatively, on pathway two, pre conceived concepts, theories and belief systems are dismantled by truth so that the thinker of the thought lives a genuine fulfilling life without fear or prejudice. In everyone's lifetime, results will speak for themselves … Are you ready to leap into an investment that can produce prosperous self-assurance?

This is a wonderful collection of stories and myths that get you thinking about the world we live in and the beliefs we hold. This book is suitable for all readers whether they follow an organised religion not, there is something here for everyone. Each story, whether it's a Greek myth or something more modern is told in a refreshingly uncomplicated way, They finish with an inspirational quote to consider, mull over, and guide the reader to a more positive mindset and outlook on life.
You may not agree with all the points made in this book however, you may find yourself, like me, highlighting various phrases and thinking more deeply about how to live a happy, worry-free life. I have found lots of ideas to think about and apply to my own life and it has left me feeling very positive.
This is a book that I'll be dipping into and rereading again and again.
Thanks to the author for providing me with this enlightening and thought-provoking book.
