A book about personal growth and reflection in the form of useful principles designed to help the reader understand their own thinking and behaviours.

Preface:
This book contains principles and ideas Ricky has incorporated into his thinking and judgment over the last ten years.

The origins of these principles were conceived through learning and adapting information found in a varied collection of written, audio, and audiovisual material.

The principles Ricky covers were also derived from a process of disseminating his reality and learning from his mistakes and misinterpretations, along with the unravelling of false narratives adopted over the first thirty-five years of his life.

Most of what is written is generally a combination of both what Ricky has learned and the application of that knowledge through the lens of what Ricky has deciphered from his own experiences while on his journey of growth, and his recovery from mental illness.
