Hopefully you gain more awareness, acceptance, and a better understanding for autism around the world. Hi, I'm Tony Manter. Welcome to Why Not Me The World. Join us today as emotions expert and author John Rushton shares his experiences from over 40 years of global travel, revealing that people from diverse backgrounds face remarkably similar challenges.
He has recently completed a book featuring a fictional character named Antti Bromwen, who provides a safe space for individuals to express themselves candidly. The book, entitled The Anthology of Auntie Bromwyn, explores a wide range of thought-provoking topics. His stories are remarkable, and we're just so glad to have him on. Thanks for coming on. My pleasure, indeed.
It's my understanding that you've written a book. Yes, yes.
I've written a few, actually, but I've got a recent one.
Can we get a little insight on your most recent book and what it's about?
There's a story to it. It's a long story, but I won't go into that. But it's a story about people's aspects of people's lives. And it came about from my sort of previous books, which are all about emotions, why people do what they do, or maybe they shouldn't do what they do. This came to some radio programs, which I was on, and people were phoning in about various aspects of their lives.
I mean, not just, oh, I feel like, not that kind of, but I mean, real problems which they were having to overcome themselves, some with other people, families, friends, whatever. And it came to a level where it was difficult to respond to them all from a personal point of view, because everybody today is waiting to be offended or upset or something like that.
You know, they're accused of people, oh, I'm me next, me next, please offend me, and all that kind of thing. So we came up one evening with some friends and maybe a couple of glasses of wine that we would actually have a fictitious character. And the formulated one, and we called her Auntie Bronwyn. And she had a, we created her character and her background, the pedigree.
