Building a healthy sense of self: Essential knowledge for African people

by William H.T. Bailey

Understanding the principles that five rise to these phenomena is crucial for African people! Building a Healthy Sense of Essential Knowledge for African People uncovers mysteries behind questions such as these. It presents concise explanations for how two people can witness or experience the same event, yet form different interpretations. It explains how to maintain your sense of self when your rational perceptions differ from those of society’s controlling group. Members of the group that controls society’s economics, politics, education and media have less need for this material. The social environment nourishes them continuously. However, Africans endure non-stop subliminal messages that our thoughts and feelings are ancillary or invalid. This book offers knowledge that helps you validate your rational perceptions. It helps you build a healthy sense of self, so you can see through society’s psychological stumbling blocks and consequently guide your life with a clear sense of purpose.
