Chet Shupe’s Book “Rediscovering the Wisdom of Human Nature” will be displayed at the L.A. Times Festival of Books

Self-publishing and book marketing company ReadersMagnet is excited to display the philosophy book “Rediscovering the Wisdom of Human Nature: How Civilization Destroys Happiness” by Chet Shupe at the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books on April 22 to 23, 2023, at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, USA.

In one of the most popular TED Talks ever, Professor Robert Waldinge of Harvard asks: “What keeps us happy, as we go through life?” He then tells us about the “Harvard Study of Adult Development" The data taken on that study of the lives of 750 men, over 75 years, reveals that good relationships are what keeps us happy and healthy, throughout life—not wealth, privilege, or fame.

This is one of many studies that tell us something that each of us knows, down deep: To love and be loved is essential to our sense of wellbeing. Yet, loneliness is endemic in our world, because we are conditioned to believe that love is something we do. But, actually, love is a mind-body reaction to specific sets of circumstances. We don’t love others, because they need us, and we don’t love others by intent. That is to pretend love. We love others for only one reason: Because we need THEM! In fact, the word “love” is so synonymous with the word “need” that the words can be interchanged in virtually any sentence, and not affect the meaning.

For the first two hundred thousand years, or so, that humans walked the earth, unconditional love was implicit to our existence, because people depended completely on the mutual support of one another to survive. Now, our survival depends on the services provided by centralized systems of authority. Consequently, we love our governments unconditionally—so much so that we willingly kill and die for them during times of conflict.

In his book, Rediscovering the Wisdom of Human Nature: How Civilization Destroys Happiness, Chet Shupe reveals why humans innocently subjugated themselves to external systems of authority, and how that act repressed our innate wisdom, which previously had naturally guided us, through feelings. The book reveals what must happen for us to regain our natural sense of purpose, belonging, and direction. Just as we cannot love, by intent, we cannot restore our natural emotional connections to one another, by intent. The good news is: Our innate wisdom will restore them for us, if we allow it.

As a whistle-blower to the world, Chet Shupe speaks with urgency about the need for people to rediscover their connections with their own nature, if we are ever again to experience the contentment of sisterhood and brotherhood that is our natural heritage.

Chet Shupe is an electronics engineer who suffered from severe Attention Deficit Disorder, for much of his life. When he was 43, his condition was finally diagnosed, and he began treatment with Ritalin. Suddenly, life made sense. As a result of that extraordinary experience, he began writing on brain dysfunction to provide a conceptual framework for medically treating the brain.

As a result of that effort—combined with his professional knowledge of system control theory—Shupe’s subject soon changed from brain dysfunction to cultural dysfunction. He realized that the brain cannot find lasting contentment, nor can it produce behavior that serves its species, when functioning in a reality that, emotionally, it does not comprehend.
