It means that each of us experiences it. In this book, I fully discuss it from my viewpoint and reference experiences. I also offer a subtle but simple solution to the human condition. There are certain events in our lives that change our perspective. Some events change it lightly, but on the other hand, a few of them changes us fundamentally, on the deepest levels. These are what we call Paradigm Shifts. My diverse collection of experiences has netted me many of these perspective altering shifts. Three of them were ultimately fundamental and has changed how I think, behave and achieve ...
