The Consequences of Being Trifling seeks to examine the decline of integrity, personal value systems, honoring commitments, etc.  The decline of these basic traits has led to ineffective interpersonal communication and other forms of common courtesy necessities.  This book is not only a harsh critique of the decline of a positive value system, but, more importantly, it offers solutions on how we can make personal and simple changes in our own daily behaviors that will lead to a more civilized society where everyone may coexist in an ever-complexing environment.
