Synopsis

Joe is an average Alberta oilfield worker who gets laid off and wonders what he will do next. He begins to question the system and why it is so unfair and starts to learn why. This is not a dramatic story, it is a tell-it-like-it-is, sometimes witty, sometimes angry explanation of his findings. Taking a look at the condition of our lives, we cannot all say with complete honesty that our existence is not full of crap. Crappy attitude, crappy lifestyle, crappy job, crappy outlook... we vent all that on social media ignoring the fact that social media could, and should, be a means of bringing the world closer together. It's our outlook and reactions to moment-to-moment events that shape who we are and how we develop as human beings and over the last couple of centuries, we have become a more miserable, opinionated, self-centred and entitled species who have lost the essential defining property of what it is to be human - humanity. A quality driven out of us by a relentless system that works to separate and control through fear and oppression. It may not be as obvious on the surface but when we look behind the curtain, we see the true face of our demise. Joe's Sh!t Life addresses this concern by offering a blunt and witty eye-opener to this disturbing reality, thoughts on why it happened and ideas on how we can shift our perspective back to the natural order of our true potential. We are all equally worth so much more, we are full of so much more - than crap. Why we chose to bury such value for the empty promise of fulfillment through disparagement of others is the true growing threat in civilization. How do we wipe it clean?

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

I was an Alberta oilfield worker. I had a steady job as a communications technician for a multi-million dollar company until 'the system' practically shut it down and I found myself filling out EI papers for support. During that time, my daughter severely broke her femur and my new title as stay home dad became concrete until she was able to walk again. I had already started to become suspicious of the system and while I was unable to go to work (not that there were many jobs to be found and an extreme hike in competition), I became inspired to write my thoughts down and find similar minded folk - and hopefully try to pay the bills!
