AUMftHE 17 - LETTER TO A YOUNG ME.
A User's Manual for the Human Experience
08/10/09 • 31 min
Here the author goes BRAVELY AND SWEETLY INTO THE PAST. He sits down with his morning coffee at age 44 and writes a wise and loving letter to himself at 22 (knowing full well that himself at 22 wouldn't listen to what "some old guy" has to say!). We end this chapter (and the book) with the author at age 44 receiving a wise and loving letter from the future, from himself at age 60. The author at 44 actually DOES listen to some of that. Then the author and his wife sit down and tell you the wonderful things predicted in the book that have actually HAPPENED by LIVING THE BOOK since the book came out! And THAT'S ALL FOLKS! (But stay tuned for TWO BONUS EPISODES, MP3s of the full songs by the author used in excerpt in the intro and outro of each episode.)

AUMftHE 10.5 - Hardcore Recovery Without Meetings, second half of chapter.
A User's Manual for the Human Experience
07/07/09 • 34 min
Dealing with death. Is something "God's Will"? Prayer. Pet therapy. The stunning majesty of cats and the healing power of beasts. How can you be sad? More ways of changing your ways. The uselessness of opinions. CUTTING OFF DAMAGED GOODS. Dealing with liars. If you falter, do not feel defeated, life is a moving target. My average day sober is far better than my average day loaded.

AUMftHE 01 - Greetings Eager Seeker
A User's Manual for the Human Experience
05/20/09 • 17 min
FOREWORD by Pastor Kenneth V. Blanchard, Sr., read by the good pastor. A hip Baptist preacher tells you why you don't have to be afraid of Michael Dean, even though Michael doesn't believe in Christ. And you also needn't be afraid that Michael believes in SOMETHING if you believe in NOTHING. This ain't about changing your mind, it's about improving your life. CHAPTER ONE, Greetings Eager Seeker, read by the author, Michael W. Dean. Michael explains what you're in for (it's all good!), how he teaches (more like a friend sitting next to you than like a textbook), and what this book is about (cutting deadwood out of your life, getting rid of bad patterns, habits, and people. Then we teach you how to work smarter once you’ve cleaned house).

AUMftHE 16 - Organization Building - New Uses For Old Tools.
A User's Manual for the Human Experience
08/06/09 • 25 min
"Group-dynamic games" are exercises where a "team building consultant" is hired to come into a company for a few days and lead employees through problem-solving exercises. The goal is to try and learn to work together more effectively. WE AREN'T GOING TO DO THAT. WE AREN'T PLAYING GAMES HERE. This is THE REAL DEAL. ORGANIZATION BUILDING is more about working with simple voluntary bylaws from the beginning. Using The Only Two Rules in Life with AA's 12 Traditions can be very effective for Org Building.

A User's Manual for the Human Experience
08/03/09 • 39 min

AUMftHE 14 - Time Management for Calm and Profit.
A User's Manual for the Human Experience
07/30/09 • 38 min
In this chapter, I'm going to give you some more of my patented work philosophy - some "punk rock cheerleading." Then we'll get down to business with some serious step-by-step time-management ideas (including The Dean One-Page Plan). You could skip the theory part and go straight to THE PLAN, but you know by now how I work, so you know I think it's all equally important. Besides, I'll also make sure it's all FUN.

AUMftHE 13 - Work Smarter
A User's Manual for the Human Experience
07/23/09 • 41 min
PART TWO OF BOOK: AMP
This is where we step out of "get rid of weenies" mode and step into "now that you've got your life more in order, let's do something with it."
Learn to focus your drive and focus like a quantum laser. Here Michael W. Dean shares the techniques that have made him an in-demand modern renaissance man. You'll learn to apply these same techniques in your life.
