This story is a love letter from a parent to a child about how we did our best to cope during a pandemic. Our kids missed out on many milestone experiences and struggled with feelings of grief and loss, and this story helps to illuminate how we tried to imperfectly nurture, guide and protect them in an unprecedented and uncertain time.

During the decolonization wars in East and Southern Africa, tracking became increasingly valuable as a military tactic. Drawing on archival research and interviews, Stapleton presents a comparative study of the role of tracking in insurgency and counter-insurgency across Kenya, Zimbabwe and Namibia.

In a world suffering from global warming, riddled with constant warfare, and struggling under the weight of money and banking crises, Born to Learn: A Transactional Analysis of Human Learningasks what would happen if we learned to perform human transactions in a different way. What if we were able to improve our social and psychological messaging in classrooms and in learning situations everywhere? What kind of effect could it have on our nation and the world? From the instant we first draw breath to the moment when we take our last, humans instinctively use transactional analysis (TA) to get what we need to survive. The overwhelmingly important factor, frequently overlooked in this process, is our environment's influence, often negative, on these transactions. At the same time, many of the socioeconomic and political problems we face today, including resource depletion, dysfunctional systems, global warming, and money and banking crises share a root cause-humans discounting relevant phenomena, problems, opportunities, alternatives for change, and ability to change. Richard John Stapleton, PhD, asserts these problems are not caused by humans making mistakes exercising free will, but instead are caused by natural cause-effect chains determining human feelings, thoughts, and decisions and physical environments, and therefore humans are not to blame or praise. On the other hand, by cooperating with each other and by focusing on the real causes of problems, rather than focusing on fixed ideologies, dogma, and doctrine, hopefully we can cause positive changes and generate real solutions for the long run. Born to Learn: A Transactional Analysis of Human Learningaims to give readers a more comprehensive understanding of how our lives are shaped and controlled by both social and psychological messaging as well as offering tools to pursue a better future.

This novel is about a fictional management professor and consultant Dr. Rout Logger who secured funding from wealthy donors for an on-going discussion process that was conducted in central city hotels in randomly-selected cities of the US on the first Saturday of the month starting in October 2019.Forty participants were randomly-selected from pools of USian citizens based on demographic criteria designed to maximize diversity among the group members, including members living in and identified with widely divergent psychological, social, economic, political, religious, educational, and philosophical states of affairs.The major purpose of the process was to increase the OKness of the group members by forcing them to engage in rational Adult ego state democratic discussions of serious problems facing all Earthian humans. The group members were paid five thousand dollars per Saturday session in which they participated. The meetings entailed morning and afternoon sessions of three hours. Each session was started by a roulette-like spinner, a copper rooster, called the Truther rooster, that would spin and crow when twirled. Whomever was sitting at the end of an imaginary straight line of fire extending from the rooster's beak to the circle of forty participants would be randomly selected as the Leader of the Moment, proving true democracy can happen. Each Leader of the Moment was required to answer three existential questions: What do you think is the most serious problem right now? what do you think the alternatives are for dealing with the problem? and what do you recommend for dealing with the problem?The story includes dialogues between Rout Logger and the group members and between group members dealing with the issues the randomly selected members brought up answering the existential questions and dealing with psychological and social problems group members had adjusting to the group process.The process lasted six months, to March 2020. Rout told the group members at the outset that the process might be continued for a year or more. Instead, it was terminated after the March meeting because of Covid-19.Rout was convinced the process did increase the OKness of the group members in six months. How much would be impossible to prove but he was convinced their OKness level went up, as he defined OKness. His donors were also convinced OKness increased based on data and information Rout furnished them. Rout used some transactional analysis lingo and jargon in the process but he also explained how it could be understood by all members. The story ended with Rout and his donors working on a new computer-based Game-free democratic discussion system based on zoom technology that could be rolled out around Spaceship Earth.
