| The Backsliders Guide to Success |
| |
Books on success tend to have a major flaw. They ignore the uncomfortable fact that, when most
of us try to improve ourselves and our circumstances, we end up moving a few steps forward then
sliding a few steps back. This website has been created for those interested in the book “The
Backslider's Guide To Success”, which is a reaction against all the success formulae that ignore
this common experience and that leave us feeling demoralised. It proposes a more humane, a more
strategic approach to seeking success.
It recommends techniques for understanding and managing the tendency to backslide. It also
claims that well founded self-esteem is vital if we are to overcome the sinking feeling that
comes from backsliding.
Perhaps the most interesting thing about the book is that it proposes that following a simple
and pragmatic moral code is the most reliable way of building robust self-esteem and that such
a moral code exists and is independent of any religion.
That code, explained in the book, is the Triax which requires us to:
Have integrity
Be kind
Be courageous
Rather than simply bemoaning the failings of religion, “The Backslider's Guide To Success”
offers a way forward. Philip Veasey, its author, believes that the development of secular
morality is an urgent necessity for mankind.
