Ideologies are  perhaps the most important driving forces in both personal and social development  and yet remains only vaguely understood by most people. "Misled?"  explains how from our earliest days, we are conditioned into systems of belief that can dictate the way we live. It also explains how this can be a force for both good and evil. These beliefs can bring great benefits and sometimes serious trouble and loss.
The book also guides the reader to  a deeper understanding of how current ideologies, both secular and religious, are having profound effects on the well-being of people and society in general. It specifically addresses the way that such ideologies can lead to moral failure, resulting in self sabotage, hatred, aggression and mistreating others. In response to this  challenge, it provides practical guidance to help people evaluate these ideologies as well as practical steps for  positive change in order to grow beyond  beliefs that no longer lead people to live good and productive lives.
At its core, "Misled?" is a call to the reader to take time to understand the ideological influences that are defining and guiding their life. It also proposes that, as human beings, we all need to develop a personal ideology in order to make it through this adventure called living. In examining our personal ideology, we can face the challenge laid down here, which is to choose and take ownership of a belief system that will help us to live our best life and not lead us into moral failure.
