This is a Course in Realness
A cure for the world.
Personal Revolutions: A Short Course in Realness presents 166 philosophical frames (‘Revolutions’) through which to view ourselves, the world, and reality – all of which point in the same direction, and look at the same truth from a different vantage point.
Each one is a mini ‘Revolution’ within itself, but, taken as a whole, the collection allows readers to go through their own ‘Personal Revolution’ by increasing their realness and building more purposeful, meaningful, and valuable lives for themselves and those around them.
By encouraging you to see yourself and your world in a way that is more harmoniously aligned with reality, and more realistically aligned with the power and potency of an active and focused human being, Personal Revolutions will help to put you in touch with things as they actually are, not just as you’ve been conditioned to believe them to be, allowing you to build upon the most solid possible foundation: The Truth (whatever the hell that is).

The Author
Who the hell is Oli Anderson and why should you listen to him?
Oli Anderson is an author, qualified performance coach, and experienced service designer working out of Bradford, West Yorkshire in the United Kingdom. He runs training and workshop events around the themes of ‘dialogue’ as a force for social change and also works in design-related projects around the world – particularly in relation to helping businesses develop substance, style, and communication with his creative coaching studio Truth Bomb.
He believes that the only person you should listen to in relation to your own life is yourself which is why he designed Personal Revolutions: A Short Course in Realness – as a tool to help you get in touch with what you actually have to say to yourself. The whole book contains 166 ‘revolutions’ to help you change the way you look at your life and approximately 8,000 self-guidance questions so you can change the way you look at yourself.
When he’s not writing, coaching, or dragging people into boundless ‘philosophical’ conversations, he can most often be found doing yoga or working out, walking around the hills of Yorkshire, playing the guitar and annoying the neighbours, or chasing new challenges with the people he loves (awww).
