About the Book

Discovering the Obvious is not for the satisfied but for the hungry. The four short stories may not be literature, but they contain interesting ideas and circumstances, and there are essays that verge on being sermons and a lot of questions that can prompt new pathways for thought. Finally, there's a lot of practical knowledge that the author has gleaned over his lifetime. In this book you'll find... 
A formula for pursuing happiness 
 A way to come up with solutions 
A way to be spiritual without joining a religion
 A way to find satisfying work 
The reason why games are so important
 Questions to ask when making major decisions
 The reasons why you should learn how to meditate How to interpret rejection 
 What to do with failure
 Ways to get good at something
 Advice to help you stop getting in your own way And more. 

A summary: The 4 short stories deal with 1) the future of the earth 2) an imaginary time before the Big Bang 3) heaven and hell 4) a crisis of faith. The next chapter is an essay on the human adventure. Next there's a chapter of questions, and last, there's a chapter of practical knowledge. It could be the only self-help book the reader will ever need.
About the Author: Marvin Morrison is a graduate of Dallas Theological Seminary, Dallas, Texas. After leaving the ministry in June of 1970, he began a search for more meaning in his life and found it when he learned how to meditate. Over the years he studied personal fulfillment and self improvement and made it a hobby of jotting down questions that came up and creating summaries of what he thought was useful information. Morrison is not enlightened and knows it but he is enjoying the adventure. In Discovering the Obvious he shares much of what he has gleaned over the years and his vision of what is possible for Earth. Other books by Morrison: Word Finder: The Phonic Key to the Dictionary Morrison's Sound-It-Out Speller
