Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What are the 55 Concepts?
The 55 Concepts are 55 simple ideas that when put into practice can change your
life. Reading and using The Concepts repeatedly is important. For full benefit
make them a part of your everyday life like brushing your teeth or waking up
in the morning. These are functional tools for life. They all work no matter
how simple they seem. Life is simple we are the ones who complicate it. It may
take a while to get used to them for your old habits will want to keep returning
until these become your new habits. If you use them regularly you'll find that
as you read them you see meaning on deeper and deeper levels and at the same
time your life becomes simpler, more fluid and more joyful.
How did the book come about?
The Concepts are an outgrowth of the work Michael Cavallaro has been doing for
the past 35+ years. It is the result of his life long quest for practical, functional
tools that would make life easier both for him and for the average person to
find their true self and happiness. Some of these truths will seem familiar,
others new, yet all come from a universal wisdom known throughout the ages and
brought together in a form that fits and works in our everyday life in the 21st
century.
What do I get by taking a class that I don't get by reading the book?
Perspective! Practice! Possibilities! Those who have taken the class (and
many take it over and over again because its always different and they always
learn new things!) say that it anchors the Concepts into their lives, they see
life from a new persective, and new possibilites for seeing and responding to
their world open up for them. In the class you get to ask questions, share experiences
and learn from others. You begin to see how no one and nothing can keep you
from what you want - except you. And how to change you to have the life you
want with a minimum of pain and judgment. We have free
introduction classes the second Tuesday of each month or listen to a recorded
introduction class here.

How do I get the book?
Thought you'd never ask! You can order it right on our website,
and don't forget the cards.
What are the cards?
Each Concept on its own business card size card. Perfect for carrying with
you, posting on the mirror or refrigerator, or pulling one when most in need.
Why should I get the cards?
Readers tell us that they doubles the value of the book. Books often end up
on our shelves forgotten but the cards can be kept on our bedside tables, in
the car, or shuffled and pulled for your own 'Concept of the day.' Those who
have (and USE!) the cards tell us they make a big difference.
