A project for this summer is to create an audio book format of Going Alone. I struggled for a bit trying to create a small studio setting at home sufficiently quiet for the job. At last I realized that I had a perfect studio out there at Siberia beneath the Writing Bridge. Here's chapter one: Introduction. I like the quiet of this place - perfectly still - with the only sound of interruption being the periodic passing of cars overhead on Route 66 and the long rumble of mile-long freight trains passing beyond the ghost town to the north. I'll endeavor to record the entire book here before summer heat begins to wane.

My name is Kurt Bell and I am delighted that you have taken some time to share a little of The Good Life with me. I'm available on social media at the links below and can be reached via email at softypapa@goingalone.org Going Alone is an independent approach to living, uncovering what is real, and making peace with the facts of what is true no matter how the truth makes us feel. I upload at least one video a week for this series on my YouTube channel. The Good Life is a formulated plan of objectives and principals designed to help us live a more virtuous life in accord with sound reasoning.
