This monograph is an effort to explain why, as a people, as a government, we in the United States did not follow the road of the Shamans, or for that matter of pre 1875 Americans, or conclude, as Andrew Weil and Norman Taylor have, that altered states are important to mental health. I apologize up front for not having all the anthropological tools necessary for a detailed examination of the topic. This book is a good synopsis and starting point. I leave it to the scholars to flesh out my observations. My ideas come from reading, conversation, experience and rumination. I examine why we have chosen the route that has repeatedly proven unsuccessful, that has stood in the way of expanding our understanding of the human mind and that not only has not worked, but has been counterproductive. Even discussion of an alternative which downplays a criminal justice approach of substance abuse in favor of treatment and prevention, cannot be tolerated in present-day America. The acceptance of even drug use, as opposed to drug abuse, of demonized drugs has been condemned by politicians of both major parties. There has been some support from Green Libertarians, the occasional Libertarian leaning Republican and an occasional or minority Democrat for a medical and/or non-governmental approach. Why have we overlooked the obvious solution? Raising a child who feels loved in a loving, nurturing, safe home environment. Numerous studies bear this out. Dr. Ira Chesnoff's work in Chicago with mother's with a history of cocaine abuse during pregnancy and their children did well when the family was provided a comprehensive program of drug abuse treatment, Head start, parenting skills, counseling and good nutrition. Chesnoff notes that these kids of former cocaine-abusing mothers who had experienced this intervention had an IQ that was higher than children of non-cocaine using moms. Until we spend more money on promoting family values, teaching acceptable parenting techniques, create an economy that allows parents and children quality time, address anger management, have early intervention to prevent family violence and recognizing the role of genetics and dysfunctional families contribution to ADHD, we will continue on what has become a more and more destructive, ineffectual and racist path.

The key to surviving and thriving in all economic and investment climates is financial strength. High net worth investors – the 4.7 million American households with investable assets above $1 million – have the opportunity to gain this advantage and reap the many potential rewards. These potential rewards include great clarity and confidence, more consistent and calculated investment returns, and wealth that is truly secure and no longer threatened by the vagaries of the market. Joseph J. Janiczek, named among the top, best and most exclusive wealth advisors in the nation multiple times, pioneered optimal ways of measuring, building and permanently maintaining financial strength. He believes recent market volatility has exposed huge vulnerabilities and weaknesses in the way most high net worth investors manage their portfolio and identifies the root cause and permanent solution to this widespread problem. As he notes at the start of this book, “You do not become financially strong by achieving superior results. You achieve superior results by becoming financially strong.” Janiczek’s formula for building financial strength is the same practical guidance he has used to help hundreds of high net worth individuals to avoid the mistakes of typical investors and eliminate weaknesses that can sabotage performance and lead to wealth depletion. In this groundbreaking book, he shows you how to implement: • A system that liberates you from low-value tasks and distractions, and puts your focus on the Essential 15% of actions that drive success • A structure that provides complete clarity and control over all your assets and allows you to see where your intervention will have the most impact • Support that is fully aligned with your goals and needs, providing you with insights and advantages that will optimize your results • Discipline that is almost entirely delegated or automated, preserving your own self-discipline for the challenges that are most vital and rewarding Janiczek brings these insights to life with observations and anecdotes that reflect his 25 years of experience in wealth management and his passion for helping high net worth investors succeed. Moreover, he understands that success isn’t measured in dollars and cents; it’s the freedom to pursue your highest purpose and possibilities, a freedom that blossoms when wealth is no longer a problem to solve but a strength to harness and enjoy.
