In this narrative with a shocking twist, Will Evans, a successful civil engineer, struggles with burnout and the reconciliation with his ex-girlfriend in the darkness of winter. Will's new friend, Morgan, forces him to confront some of the world's misery and turmoil by offering stories, principles, rules, and wisdom that might shield him from the wickedness and dishonesty of a culture that has lost its way.
Within the 48 lessons by James S. Zakaria, Morgan explains how many have learned how to succeed by being greedy, angry, hurtful, materialistic, aggressive, and ignorant toward fellow human beings and encircle the powerless as pawns in their power and wealth accumulation games. As community and religious voices fade, capitalistic idealism sells unhealthy selfishness in response to consumers' desires.
Outraged by inequality and injustice, citizens can't explain why they are so tired, restless and lonely, and have lost faith in the prospect of better tomorrows.

In this spirituality-based book, Humans are blessed with the duality of good and evil, and they must make daily choices to feed their soul's kind side, shun evil, and fill their lives with stories of joy, peace, love, hope, kindness, generosity, and faith. However, if they let the dark side take over, their life story will begin to fill with pages of anger, sadness, fear, dishonesty, abuse, and regret.
We are free to construct the life we want, but the marketing machine of global corporate interests can easily manipulate the young to make poor choices.

If not, mercenary capitalism will continue its assault to consume all of society and destroy the dreams of gentle souls. Being a high character person is not enough; fighting evil and corruption requires community efforts because our environments influence us to comply with prevalent norms.
