About the author***
Jeremy Boggess has always felt since childhood that a chain of events would be set in motion, and that his task would be to help us all get through those changes. Born in 1971, he moved from America to Europe in 2016. A desire to make a positive contribution to people’s lives led him to run several times for the Idaho Senate in the 2000’s as an independent. While running for office in 2008, he self-published Thoughts & Responsibilities, a book of philosophical observations. Boise State University and Lewis-Clark State College have both awarded him degrees in business. His concern for the future of humanity also led him to study philosophy and sociology since childhood.
