Chet Shupe’s Book on Finding Contentment in Life Will Be Exhibited at the 2023 San Diego Union-Tribune Festival of Books

The philosophy, evolutionary psychology, and sociology self-help book “Rediscovering the Wisdom of Human Nature: How Civilization Destroys Happiness (Second Edition)” by Chet Shupe will be displayed by self-publishing and book marketing company ReadersMagnet at the San Diego Union-Tribune Festival of Books. The book festival will take place on August 19, 2023, at 5998 Alcala Park, San Diego, CA.

“Rediscovering the Wisdom of Human Nature” challenges the foundations of civilization. Shupe explores how institutional subjugation affects our happiness by forcing us to live for the future, instead of in the moment.

What does Shupe mean by “the wisdom of human nature”? All living beings come into this world with inborn wisdom, or instincts, if you will. That wisdom is expressed exclusively through feelings. By trial and error, evolution has programmed the feelings of all animate beings so that, by each individual doing what feels good and avoiding what hurts, in response to the situation at hand, countless species are able to live in sufficient harmony for life to flourish on earth.

But, as subjects of legal systems, our survival requires that we comply with verbally prescribed laws. Thus, we are not free to be true to our feelings of the moment—our innate wisdom. What we perceive to be the world’s major problems—such as extinctions, emotional disorders, domestic violence, loneliness, and habitat destruction—have no solutions, because they are not real. They are instead only symptoms of complying with legally imposed laws, instead of being true to “the laws of life” as revealed by how we feel. If we again function as agents of life by being true to the feelings Nature gave us, instead of remaining the agents of states that we have become, our so called “problems” would eventually heal themselves.

Shupe’s book takes us on a commonsense journey in which we learn why humans began living for the future, instead of in the moment. Only by understanding how we got here can we find our way back to the reality evolution prepared for us, one in which our happiness, and our species’ survival, both go hand in hand.

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 behaviour that serves its species, when functioning in a reality that, emotionally, it does not comprehend.
