The view of the world I call my own was born out of the American experience. I am a baby boomer, the product of a generation bristling with a sense of victory over the powers of evil and a belief in the indomitable strength and virtue of individualism. Freedom is the prized attribute in the American experience, as I have known it, and it is precisely because of that attribute and its central relationship to Americans' collective consciousness that I titled this book "The Asylum: A Personal View of Organizational Lunacy".
Read along with me and experience the reasons for my transformation. The reality I know today is different from that which I understood as a child, as an adolescent and even as a young adult. Feel the experiences that have shaped my world and then think about your own experiences. This is a book designed to make each reader think. Ii have no intent to tell you what to think; only to encourage you to think for yourself and translate your experience, as I did mine, newly formed theories of the way the world functions. Experience, without theory, teaches nothing. Theories that never evolve, similarly, lose their power to teach. So my goal is to make you think, to encourage you to form new theories and to continue along the path of knowledge.
