1,591 personal growth gems painstakingly created by Richard Mc Sweeney from September 2021 through to October 2022. A positivity-themed collection of Pro-verbs: Original Imperatives for any Day of any Year. Appeal they will as much to young adults as to nonagenarians. A consistent focus is on being of an all-round awareness; on being self-disciplined and of a moral integrity. An invitation there is to think beyond any and all self-constraining hand-me-down ways of looking at life be they religious, philosophical, scientific or otherwise. Nuanced metaphors abound. The work's aesthetic significance may be said to dwell in its exhilarating sense of freedom from implied previous ways of looking at everything and the potential to look at self and everything in a whole new light. Richard who is a native of the island of Ireland modestly puts himself out there as a self-designated Planet Earth philosopher of the natural kind; a self-originator who enjoys expressing his ideas and insights in a charmingly personal prose-poetic style. [Almanac of Promptings] is his eighteenth book to date.
