Summary of Gary M. Douglas's Beyond The Utopian Ideal

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

Book Preview: #1 We have created utopian ideals, such as economic, political, and social perfection, freedom, and equality.

We have religions, books about utopias, and utopian communities.

None of them are real, and none of them work.#2 Concepts are the source of the creation of utopian possibility, which is the belief that something can be greater than oneness.

These concepts were created when you were a tadpole in your mother's stomach.#3 You have to be willing to lose all the fronts you've created that aren't you in order to be everything you can be as you, which is infinitely better than the fronts you've created as you.#4 Persona is what you are and who you will be, regardless of what others think.

When you try to be the person you want others to see you as instead of who you are, you are dead.
