Why Not Use Some Common Sense?: An Uncomon Guide to Living

by PV Vaidyanathan

Despite being blessed with the power of intelligence, logic, imagination and analysis, why do we humans struggle to use the gift of common sense in so many areas of our lives? Have you ever found yourself wondering... Why do we get angry or irritated? Why do we feel guilty? Why do we tell lies or get defensive? Why is there so much lack of trust? Why do we struggle to accept ourselves as we are? Why do we often complicate our own lives? Why do we love to criticize or shy away from candid conversation? The simple truth is that we could handle situations better and solve dilemmas just by applying common sense. This book takes a clear-eyed look at day-to-day scenarios we are all familiar with, in which, by simply altering our perspective and using some common sense, we can resolve or reduce our issues. It serves as a down- to-earth guide to letting go of negative emotions such as anger, frustration, guilt, grief, irritation, unhappiness and joylessness. These pages are dedicated to helping people live their lives with greater ease, freedom, and simplicity – by consciously using the most important tool existence has bestowed upon us – common sense.

A decent book which wakes up the common sense sleeping inside every person.
The common topics where people struggle in and with life are nicely explained.
Why we feel stressed, why we marry, why we desire and these kind of topics go on and on in this book.
