“Some of us in our American culture and environment will have felt a peak experience from time to time, perhaps without recognizing what was happening, or understanding its significance. At the moment of a peak experience everything in your world feels right for you. This can be very scary if one has no basis for understanding what is happening.”

My Goal in life is to want nothing and need little, and to be able to fully appreciate the environment in which I find myself at that moment. Then I will know that I am Fully Human, having actualized my own life, and when I leave this world a better place because I have been here, I will realize that I am finally Fully Alive. If I have lived as much of my life as I am able above the level of actualization my life will have been meaningful to me. And if I have made the world a better place through my endeavors, my life will have been significant for others.
~Lyle Simpson
“Fully Human/Fully Alive” is written to help the 70% of all Americans living today who are stuck on Maslow’s social level of living, not realizing that there are three levels above them that would greatly enhance their lives. The book will help them build bridges over or detours around their own barriers that preclude them from fully living their own lives. The book provides paths around your barriers without destroying your current beliefs. They simply no longer control you. Those who read this book with an open mind can find their own path to become one of the one percent of people living today who live a fulfilled experience and are truly Fully Alive.
Simpson seeks to help individuals who might feel stuck in their lives, particularly within the social level of living found in Dr. Abraham Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. He estimates that around 70% of people live within this boundary, often without realizing it, and his work aims to guide them towards breaking free from these constraints.
Simpson’s work is designed not just for reflection but also for action. He encourages readers to confront their realities and encourages personal growth by providing insights into their current state and potential paths forward. This approach aims to foster a deeper understanding of one’s own life and relationships.
