I intend to write at least three books to capture my evolving mind through life. I may write other books on particular subjects of interest too, but I’m not sure yet what those would be! I’ve only written one so far, but the writings in this blog are helping contribute my thinking towards my next book!
The Hope of Time [2017]
My first book (under the pen name Herman Stanly, short for: Her Man Stephen Hanly) recorded how my newly married self viewed the world in my mid-twenties and documented what I wanted to achieve with my existence.
I am proud of what I wrote and the insight it brought me; but I am a little embarrassed by how much I rambled! Some passages read a little judgy now to me; but changing the text would defeat the purpose – that was how I viewed the world then!
It’s available on Kindle Unlimited for free or in paperback for $5.
Achieving Tomorrow’s Hope
Upon my first “retirement” (I never intend to fully stop working and contributing to society), I will write my second book to capture the mind of a man in his early 50s. I will be much more strategic and specific with my hope for the future by laying out a roadmap on how I plan to achieve my vision.
The Peace of Now
As death nears I expect to become one with time and find fulfillment knowing that my existence has made the world a better place. I will have found peace and finally be able to stop looking forward to develop strategic plans. Instead, I’ll focus my energy on living in the now while trusting that the world is heading along the right path.
