GOT SENSE?? STATE POLICE VOLUNTEER AUTHORS COMMON SENSE GUIDE

(WESTMINSTER, MD) – Responding to those frustrated by an apparent decline of ‘common sense’ in society, a Maryland State Police volunteer has authored a book aimed at teaching or reminding those of all ages that a wealth of common sense can be of immeasurable value in life.

“Warning! Common Sense Ahead,” is the title of a new book authored by Norman Greenberg, of Westminster, Maryland, who hopes this collection of sage advice will help anyone navigate life easier and more effectively. “This book is all about the choices, solutions, and consequences of everyday life,” Greenberg said. “Often, people of all ages react too quickly to situations, instead of thinking through the consequences of their actions. With a good foundation of common sense, people can avoid many difficult situations that impact everything from their self-esteem, relationships, and financial security, to their overall success in life.”

Greenberg writes based upon his personal life experiences and observations. His topics in the section, “What You Should Pass On To Your Children,” include accountability, attitude, bullying, character, courtesy, gossip, ethics, money, responsibility, revenge, selfishness, and worry.

In the section, “What You Should Be Aware Of,” Greenberg covers a range of topics that include, car emergencies, communication, divorce, maintenance contracts, tipping, and wills. The third section of the book, “Checklists To Use For Reference,” covers travel lists for children and adults and provides a guide for building a house, buying a home, or going into business.

Discussing scores of issues we encounter each day, Greenberg writes in a style that he hopes conveys information clearly and in a way everyone can understand. “If just one person is helped and comes to understand that everything we do has consequences, then this book was worth writing,” Greenberg said.

Norman Greenberg has been a volunteer with the Maryland State Police for more than six years. He currently performs administrative duties at the Westminster Barrack, where he is a valued co-worker of the troopers and civilian employees there. He graciously dedicated his book to the men and women of the Maryland State Police.

“Warning! Common Sense Ahead,” is available on Amazon.com. Greenberg intends to donate the proceeds of the book to charity.
