WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT THIS BOOK:
“Part intellectual memoir, part self-help book. Michael W. Dean’s Practical Emotional Self-Defense (PESD) techniques flow from a wealth of life experiences, both positive and negative. ‘The Only Two Rules in Life’ have some radical, refreshing implications.”
–Jason Sorens, Ph.D. (Assistant Professor, University at Buffalo, SUNY), founder of the Free State Project
“You owe yourself the opportunity to step outside your comfort zone and put yourself in the court with this modern-day Socrates.”
–Pastor Kenneth V. Blanchard, Sr., author of Black Man with a Gun
“I knew Michael Dean back in the day, when he was a 19-year-old punk rocker with an appetite for self-destruction. I honestly didn’t think he’d live to be 30. But guess what? It turns out that Michael isn’t just a survivor; he’s a survivor who’s learned how to enjoy life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness after recovery. For everyone who wants to know how to stay sane, develop a great work ethic, and make a mark on the world, Michael Dean has a great story to tell.”
–Professor Michael Bérubé, Ph.D. (Penn State), author of What’s Liberal About the Liberal Arts? and Life as We Know It
(podcast episode 28)
The DEANS sit in their new backyard in WYOMING and talk about marital bliss, the joys of Wyoming, the beauty of WalMart, how cool it is to see two DEER a block from your house, and how fun guns are and why California sucks. They chat about gardening, buying called “assult weapons” at sporting goods stores with no waiting periods, seeing cows in the road, plinking in the tulies, and how the best things in life contain the letter W.

Michael W. Dean and Debra Jean Dean get SICK OF CALIFORNIA and decide on freedom, so THEY MOVE TO WYOMING.
They drug the cats, and MOVE TO WYOMING! ENOUGH YACKING ABOUT IT, IT’S TIME TO DO IT! The happy couple “straps the cats to the bumper”, pack all their worldly possessions into the 26-foot U-Haul covered wagon and set off across the plains. On the way they encounter the 18 MILES OF LIBERTY. They hear Coyotes, squittens, and see “assault weapons” in sporting goods stores, and they love it.
Michael says “I’d like 18 miles of ANARCHY, so I could stand on side of road, smoking a joint, firing guns like Yosemite Sam, with the wife kneeling and servicing me while I flip off cops.”
The Deans arrive exhausted and stressed at their new home in CASPER, WYOMING. They love their new house, town and state, but take a few days to recover from the drive. They also rethink their ideas on open carry of guns as they are unpacking the boxes and trying to coax the cats out of the new garage.
—–
People are polite here. They work hard. They respect each other.
I feel like I left California and moved to AMERICA.
I feel like I haven’t lived in America since I left Upstate New York at age 18, and now I’m back. (Though I’m not sure anything in New York State is still really America. You’d know what I mean…if you understand the behind-the-scenes politics there.)

We made it to Wyoming, and we LOVE it!
I can only post quick update (I’m at a copy shop, paying to use my laptop) until Wednesday (when DSL gets hooked up at our house) but wanted to say we made it.
It was quite an “Adventure in moving” from Los Angeles (more like three days of nervous hell, with very little sleep, in ghetto hotels, the only ones that will let you have cats AND smoke).
Driving big truck (wife did most of the driving) was scary, cats were traumatized by the move, they’re recovering nicely. We love our new place, the cats love it, and our neighbors are all nice and gun friendly.
It’s BEAUTIFUL in Casper. We’re loving living here already.
And the line at the DMV took 20 minutes in and out, with no appointment, to get Wyoming licenses (though a few long-time residents were complaining “it doesn’t usually take this long!”). And it was mellow, no one raised their voice, and the line was us sitting in CHAIRS. How sweet!
In Los Angeles, it takes a minimum of an hour and a half to do anything at the DMV, with an appointment, and it usually feels like a fist fight is going to break out.
Here’s DJ with what we drove here in:
Me kissing the ground in Wyoming just over the border (and a big blue beast swooping down to eat me.)
When in Rome:
We bought a DSA SA58 FAL battle rifle our second day here. Yay!
(also bought a 357 snubbie (will be careful at night, it’s got a “stupefying” flash, I have heard.)
Also got a two-shot .22 Derringer, just for fun, you know, for the wife to have at WalMart as a second gun.
lol….. (It’s so UN-FAL. The FAL could almost use it as ammo!)
I love a lot of things about this place, especially the fact that they sell battle rifles (and .50 cal guns!) at sporting goods stores. Not just gun stores, but places that also sell fishing poles and baseketballs!
Will post more when we have home net access, and finish unpacking and settling in, next week some time.
All in all, moving to Wyoming is one of the best desicions DJ and I have made in our lives, together, or even before we met.
MEW!

“A User’s Manual for the Human Experience” by Michael W. Dean. Final version up now.
Torrent (PLEASE seed!)
Podiobook (read by the author)
Paperback on Amazon (buy it if you can, and review it!):
Typical reader reaction:
Dear Mr Dean,
I am 26, and live in India. I have read your book “user’s manual…”, and it is surely helping me a great deal. I have been extremely depressed for some years of my life (I was not suicidal but close) because of two problems. First, some financial and professional failures and second, codependence….which eventually led to my emotional breakdown and put me through hell. I decided I won’t give up on life and since then I have been trying to deal with my worries and problems that are responsible for my miseries. For some time now I have stubbornly kept a faith that I will get better.
Your book has addressed the issues that have been troubling for me. And your words are reinforcing my faith that I will be healed someday and that I am capable of being completely happy.
I am aware you get a lot of emails everyday and I don’t want to take much of your time. I am simply writing to applaud your efforts towards helping people and also to express my heartfelt thanks for your generosity and the help I received in the form of your book.
Sir, I have not bought your book, I just have a free e-copy of it. I am afraid I can not make any donations at the moment as I am unemployed. As my condition improves I will certainly make some contribution. I know you said its okay if people can’t pay for your book, I feel that its incredibly kind of you.
I hope that you and your wife will find more happiness in life and continue your noble journey towards improving lives of people.
Take care and god bless you,
Best regards,
Siddharth
