Uncommon Sense Issue #344 is ready for you to feast on! Let’s peek at what’s in store for you.

Productivity is imperative. But so is your physical health. The Self-Development column will show how one impacts the other. Take it all in, process it carefully, and then take action!

The Elephant in the Room column will give you Part 1 of a 3-Part debate I had recently, with a fellow who does not approve of some of President Trump’s actions in trying to bring order to the chaos taking place in one of our largest cities. You may well find it riveting to read this installment (plus the next two that are on deck) to see how I handle the arguments made by a man who denies he is on the Left but still uses those same viewpoints. Enjoy.

In the From Ara’s Journal column, I describe what I believe are the five deadliest snakes on earth. Read it if you dare. I think you’ll find it instructive and a fun departure from the more sobering topics I often delve into.

How you speak, how you express yourself, matters. It can shut doors and lock you out, and it can open doors and bring you great opportunities. So check out The World of Words column to add yet another word to your working vocabulary, and start to sound like the intelligent person you were meant to be.

OK, let’s get started.
