Robert E Lasson

Robert E. Lasson received his Associate in Science degree from Snow College and a Bachelor of Science degree, in Manufacturing Engineering, from Brigham Young University. He has been a life-long student of science, religion, history, and human social interactions. These studies and the insight gained have inspired him to seek to live by the correct principles learned and shared in this work. Nevertheless, he acknowledges that living by these principles is a constant challenge, that is not always successfully applied. This book has been difficult to write, due to the personal intellectual, spiritual, and moral challenges it directs. However, as Spencer W. Kimball said in his "Miracle of Forgiveness", "we would not have much motivation to righteousness if all speakers and writers postponed discussing and warning until they themselves were perfected.

The author worked in engineering and management leadership positions at IBM Corporation for twelve years and twenty-three years for Hewlett-Packard Corporation. During his years at IBM and HP, Robert served for fifteen years on the Technology Industrial Advisory Board at Brigham Young University, where he was awarded, Honorary Alumnus, from Tau Alpha Pi Alpha Utah Chapter. He has also served in many religious assignments of leadership, as Bishop, High Councilman, Adult Education,

several Ward bishoprics, and Missions that have provided experience and learning for the application of the truth and insights presented in this work. A great debt is owed to his family and all the inspired individuals the author has met, read, and quoted in the preparation of this book.

It is the author's greatest desire that truth seekers from all walks of life will find what he has shared in this book enlightening, in their personal quest for truth and meaning in life.
