George Manus explores the idea that we are all fundamentally different, challenging the common belief that everyone is the same. Drawing from a rich life experience, he offers insights on how embracing these differences can improve our lives.
Discover why accepting our unique differences is key to respect, tolerance, and a better quality of life.
George Manus brings a wealth of experience from his diverse background, including autobiographical tales from his childhood in Stockholm, Ulvik, and Asker, a long career as a businessman in Norway and Denmark, and his retirement years in Spain. He has also documented the history of the company “Max Manus” and created detailed records of his many inventions. Beyond that, George has published philosophical reflections, aphorisms, and thought-provoking booklets, which you can explore further on his website: www.maxmanusinnovation.com/george-manus-books/
In this new book, George sets out to debunk the myth that everyone is the same. Instead, he argues that we must accept our fundamental differences, along with the positive and negative effects they bring. This shift calls for a reassessment of value norms and a fresh understanding of respect and tolerance. Crucially, these changes in attitude need to happen voluntarily. He stresses the importance of clarifying the concept of justice and raising the standards for fair leadership.
By being aware of your own life values - and embracing the conviction that everyone is unique – you can lower stress and frustration, leading to a richer, more fulfilling life.
At eighty-six years old, George reflects on a lifetime of experiences, including traveling distances more than three times to the moon as a driver! His natural curiosity has made him keenly observant in many situations, down to the smallest details. For example, he often found himself frustrated by others’ traffic rule violations, which he noticed sharply.
Having completed countless road trips across Europe and lived in Spain for over 20 years, George considers himself a skilled driver. Yet, before fully understanding the diversity of people, he used to loudly call out others’ driving mistakes, much to the annoyance of his passengers. This behavior stems from the fact that, because of our differences, each of us believes we are right and unique based on our own assumptions.
We don’t just want to be right; we constantly try to back up our personal views and twist them to our advantage. It’s easy to tell when someone disagrees with you and to gauge how much common ground you can find.
