MOTERWRITER.COM reviews the latest hit book – Socialcide

Author Leo J. Battenhausen’s book talks about our self induced exilation from society
 
KOCHI, India - Jan. 4, 2015 - PRLog -- Leo J. Battenhausen’s book Socialcide: How America Is Loving Itself To Death is a psycho-spiritual exploration into the ills that seem to plague the modern day American society. The author talks about the Me generation of today that seem to have forgotten even the basic social etiquettes and morals which were a part of everyday living for the previous generation. He claims Socialcide is destroying the basic fabric of our society one moral value at a time. Balancing his own theories and hypothesis with scientific facts and studies, he not only lists the various problems but also the means to overcome these before it’s too late.

Even though Battenhausen’s book deals with problems the 21st century American society faces, one quick look at the blurb and you will realize that these are issues that are global in its reach and destruction. The author shares with us many memories of his childhood and these are bound to instil nostalgia in us as we reminisce about how simple life used to be before modern innovations and technology started ruling our lives. Stressing on the point of not becoming a slave to the machine and living life with machine like emotions, he urges everyone, especially the youth to go out and interact with real people and real life situations.

And since religion and spirituality have all but disappeared from our busy lives, he argues about the need to bring spirituality back into our lives; having faith and belief in a power higher than us is what’s needed at this hour. “Otherwise this self serving and self worshipping narcissistic group of individuals will spell doom for the whole of society.” He commented. And even though this book deals with such a grave and serious topic, it is narrated in an effervescent manner with splashes of humor, thus making it appeal to all segments of the audience.

“We’re all in this (life) together, we all have common troubles and struggles regardless of what we do for a living, how much money we have or where we live” Leo told us when we interviewed him in connection with the book’s promotion. A spokesperson for the publisher Faith Books and More said that the book couldn’t have come out at a better time and said that it is a must read for the self obsessed and the selfie obsessed crowd of today. Kevin Peter who reviewed the book for Moterwriter.com said that Socialcide was one of those rare books in the nonfiction genre that manages to captivate your attention for the full length of its 400+ pages. He added that Battenhausen’s courage and conviction in bringing out such a book also needs to be fully appreciated.
