Thoughts of a Simple Man By Frank Bristow In his new book "Thoughts of a Simple Man" (published by AuthorHouse), Frank Bristow offers a colletion of musings and ruminations on crucial aspects of modern society, offering his self-described "simple thoughts" to readers in the hope that his messages will resonate with younger generations when they look back on this tumultuous, rapidly changing time in our history. Though Bristow humbly describes his ideas as simple, although they are easy to grasp, they also impart great wisdom and common sense. He discusses myriad topics, ranging from the importance of free, comprehensive and practical education for all, to families and the importance of cultivating strong, healthy relationships. Other topics include the law, substance abuse, the importance of taking pride in one's home, and the widening gap between science and religion, a gap that Bristow feels can and should be bridged. Accompanied by cartoons drawn by the author, Thoughts of a Simple Man expertly combines real-life anecdotes from Bristow's own life with a broader social commentary that transcends generation and culture. Clear, concise and practical, thoughts of a Simple Man is a thought-provoking, illuminating read. Discover more in the pages of this eminently readable new book.

Being simple doesn't necessarily mean you are poor as most people seem to fall into that category. Frugalness, poverty, culture, religion, heredity, or humbleness could very well play a factor in simplicity where people are concerned.
