The Belief Factor

Reading this book is a form of investment. Investment is discussed on two levels: first, how to eliminate risks so that the principal of our asset is not lost. Regarding this investment, the book has the capability to keep you on track. What does staying on track mean? It refers to the concept of entropy in life. What is entropy? Entropy is disorder. One characteristic of our earthly life is that if any phenomenon is left to itself, it begins to deteriorate. For example, if a building is left to itself despite all its reinforcements and safety measures, after some time, its rate of collapse accelerates until it eventually falls. It is not the case that if left alone, it will flourish and improve day by day. This applies to every phenomenon, including life itself, and perhaps it applies most profoundly to life. Life is the art of continuous pursuit and moment-to-moment monitoring to stay on the path, and if not, deterioration begins at some point and eventually only destruction remains. If you learn and consistently apply the concepts of the book well, you will avoid the dangers of this crucial principle, which is a truly serious threat, and this achievement is no small matter.
