Emotional Pollution: Always Present but Rarely Discussed (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781957618029)

The beautiful blue skies are filled with soft billowing white clouds. The birds are chirping merrily as squirrels' race from one tree to another locating and gathering food for the long winter ahead. These and images like the pretty colors reflecting off a lake or dogs playing in the backyard often create feelings of warmth, joy and happiness. Beauty is all around us each moment of every day. Yet, people seldom notice it, or when they do, it is only for a brief moment. Instead, most are afraid, worrying how they will survive in a world perceived as insensitive to them. Why is this happening? The answer is found in Emotional Pollution: Always Present but Rarely Discussed.

Emotional pollution is the innate, environmental or combination of elements negatively affecting thoughts and actions. In most situations, when children and adults experience discomfort and pain, they emit emotional pollution to feel better. Those affected then exhibit similar types of behavior. This emotional pollution cycle is the reason why many if not all of the world's problems exist. Greg Ruediger suggests that change is possible if people become aware of how emotional pollution affects their life. If that were to happen, individuals would experience happiness more frequently. This increase in positive energy would result in a culture where human talent is identified and nurtured. Some of which might help to address the many complex issues related to extreme poverty, gun violence, inequality and a host of other societal concerns.
