Books

The framework the platform operates on comes from five books. Each is published independently and available on Amazon and direct from the publisher. The books are the cultural foundation; the platform is the operational expression.

You don’t need to read them to use the platform. But the platform makes more sense if you have. Most early members read at least the first one before joining.
