Wake up America: Crisis after Crisis Dots Your Land! Lead the Way! Be the Solution, Not the Problem

HOUSTON - March 6, 2015 - PRLog -- Langston’s latest book, America in Crisis, is the birth of a theme, the culmination of an idea, an inspiring melody whispered on the wings of the wind; its genesis comparable to that of a caterpillar struggling and fighting to complete its metamorphic stage until finally it emerges, its struggles complete; an adult butterfly.

It is the moment that we realize life is a gift, a miracle tendered on an “as is” but loan basis, that we can more easily grasp the dramatic transformation that an ordinary, innocent and completely unknown literary work takes before becoming a best-seller, or how the Internet, unknown and unheard of 70 years ago, is now a global phenomenon, easily accessible to more than 6.5 billion people, or the behind the scenes workings that push a YouTube video “viral” 24 hours after launching, or any number of other mysterious phenomena’s that mark our everyday life.

Langston says he wrote this book not to induce “conspiracy theories,” “point fingers,” or “publically ridicule” our governmental hierarchy; but to be a voice for the people; a rallying point, a relief valve for the anguish and panic, deep uncertainties, and the emotional topography felt by the citizenry of a troubled nation.

Langston lays before readers an open and often frightening record of inconsistencies, half-truths and innuendos; a synthesis of personal experience, news, rumors, and the rapidly shifting perspectives about how bad things are—and how bad they could be.

There are roughly three areas that Langston explores in the book, —the physical, mental and emotional changes that follow a crisis; —the stigma and shame heaped upon us, the people of the United States as the world loses confidence in our financial, economic, social and domestic prowess; and —the unexpected and unexplainable calmness, clarity, and vigilance birthed out of this chaos.

Chapters 1-6 delve into the physical, mental and emotional changes that follow a crisis,

Chapters 7-12 brings to light the stigma and shame heaped upon us, the people of the United States as the world loses confidence in our financial, economic, social and domestic prowess; and finally,

Chapter 13 answers two questions, “Why haven’t these crises pushed us over the edge; as a nation and as a people,” and “What must Americans do to remain vigilant, and to maintain their sanity, clarity of thought and hope for a better tomorrow?”

Since the adage “A picture is worth a thousand words,” conveys the notion that a complex idea can be captured in a single still image, the succeeding chapters are kaleidoscopic; a “snapshot” of the problems besetting our nation; the writers attempt to give citizenry a better grasp of the magnitude of this crisis, a crisis that has proven intense, chaotic, and seemingly interminable.

“This book is not a definitive treatise; it’s a portrait,” says Langston. The story will continue unfurling. Some aspects, we’ll never fully understand.

Three characteristics—one, contagiousness; two, the fact that little causes can have big effects; and three, the turning point or crucial stage in the course of something—are the same three principles that define how colds move through a grade-school classroom or the flu bug travels from state to state every winter.

Of the three, the third is the most important, because it is the principle that makes sense of the first two and that permits the greatest insight into why modern change happens the way it does.

The name given to that one dramatic moment when parents pull their hair out, schools and public places shut down and quarantine signs go up all over the place due to an unstable situation of extreme danger or difficulty is Crisis.
