The Power of Truth: Individual Problems and Possibilities
The Power of Truth: Individual Problems and Possibilities by William George Jordan is a self-help book for everyone. As the title suggests, Jordan takes on the rather difficult task of explaining abstract concepts like truth, the human mind, ingratitude as well as tolerance and courage among other things. Written for the general reader, this book is an eye opener as the author deconstructs certain facts of life which are taken for granted by most people.
Jordan opens with wisdom on truth and the power it holds over one's conscience. He defines truth as an intrinsic virtue which becomes extrinsic as it's radiated by individuals in their daily lives. He covers issues of companionship, religion, work and health giving prime importance to the search for truth and being honest with the self. He then moves on to discuss the role of ingratitude and people living in 'air castles'. In essence, Jordan argues that life is not a competition with others but a rivalry with our own selves.
In parts mesmerizing and in others entirely motivational, The Power of Truth: Individual Problems and Possibilities has a hypnotizing effect on the reader. Jordan has mastered the art of using evocative phrases and just the right mix of assertion and self-conviction for penning some profound thoughts on optimism, value of life and importance of truth. The chapter on Companionship of Tolerance is perhaps worth mentioning as it stands out from the rest of the contents. Jordan offsets the negative qualities of people against their positive qualities to appreciate their true worth. While most of the content of this book is going to ring a bell in most readers' minds, it is the manner in which Jordan presents his theories that make it worth re-reading. Meant for every individual who wishes to deconstruct the vary basis of life and truth, The Power of Truth: Individual Problems and Possibilities is a must have for all.
