If you read it and enjoyed it/got something out of it, I would very much appriciate it if you would leave a review of it.

Hello everyone! I have been writing on what will be my first book on self-knowledge (my first book in anything for that matter). I will publish it through amazon as a kindle-book. The book will focus on the concept of Self, or true self as Stef usually calls it, and how to utilize it in self-therapy through journaling. It's a pretty short book (around 6k words), but when I wrote it and before I wrote it, I felt that I wanted it to be short, concise and to the point, so that it will be exposed to more people. Also, I think it will encourage readers to try it out quicker since it wont take up so much time as perhaps other books on self-therapy. What I am asking for now, is for a few awesome FDR people to read my draft and give feedback on it. No requirements of any kind, I'd like to get as much perspectives as possible so it will be a book that will appeal to as many types of people as possible. The feedback I want is: -Is something not explained well enough? -Is something missing? -Have I made some philosophical errors? Stuff like that. Spelling as such will be taken care of later. Want to help out? Throw a PM my way! If you give feedback, I'd be happy to include you in the acknowledgements part of my book, in whatever way you fancy Have a great day everyone!

So I am contemplating on possible upcoming projects that I will launch to have some income and promote myself in the market and liberty movement. I want to do something productive while I still have youth and complete freedom... (I'm a 16 year old unschooler) ... A big passion I have is writing, and I have been pondering the possibility of writing - and in hopes eventually publishing - my own book on a topic relevant to my daily life. We live in an age of uncertainty, but one thing is for sure and that is freedom related philosophies like anarchism/voluntarynism and unschooling are blossoming in astonishing feats that have no yet been recorded. What a joy it is to live in this time. After hours of past research and more to come, I have a very vague conceptualization and a foggy idea of what I might want to write about that would possibly empower the freedom movement in education. I figured it would be great if I wrote a book on unschooling one day soon, if I focus on what i'm doing right now, read more on it, gathered lots of facts, and finally package it all into a book. But I of course want it to be more philosophical and not like a guidebook or something. Though those are very practical, I want something more in-depth and brain stimulating and enriching for couch sitters like myself who have the willingness to sit down and for a moment live inside there mind, before snapping back into physical reality to find that they had their regular dose of brain food for the day. An idea of what the book might be entitled is "The Anatomy of Unschooling: a philosophical approach to education." ... But I have a problem, and that is a general shortage of ideas enlisted in the book. My question to my fellow Freedomain Radio philosophers alike is what would you like to see come out of this book? What questions should I answer, and what are some ideas that should be listed alongside this book? What should absolutely be included if I really want to make a philosophically related book? Thanks for the answers if you happen to leave a comments below!
