    About this ebook

    As a college student, author Captain Jack Jaknovich yearned to understand the world. To do so, he began writing. In The Big Picture, he presents a host of essays compiled over the years that explain how actions, reactions, and consequences of various interconnected events follow an identifiable pattern in the past that points toward a goal of evolution for life from Earth into the universe.
    The Big Picture discusses how businesses and nongovernmental organizations use governments, the media, and other sources to manipulate peoples fears to ensure profits for themselves and their associates. Jaknovich shows how this multi-pronged strategy causes people to fear independent travel, limit perspectives to that of mainstream media, and remain impassive regarding unethical practices. The essays include guidance for the psychological revolution needed to ensure the survival of life in a sustainable manner.
    Drawing on interpretations from many realms of thought and study, The Big Picture presents a study on existence and evolution that can help humans live longer, happier lives.
