A common complaint that students have been heard making over the years about the Course and Kenneth's teaching of it is that it is too theoretical, metaphysical, and abstract. They want something more practical that tells them what to do. Although there is good reason to challenge the validity of the complaint when we understand the Course's teachings about who we are and what our lives are really all about, we would like to suggest a couple of titles this month that have practical implications for our daily lives.

In an unusual section late in the text of the Course, Jesus offers us a set of very specific rules we can follow to assure that we have a happy day, one without upset, as well as the steps we can take whenever we find during the day that we have become upset and realize we are not at peace. Kenneth provides an extended discussion of this section, looking in depth at what each step asks of us, as he relates it to other relevant passages in the Course and responds to students' questions.
