About

Is the world broken, or are we just listening to the wrong leaders?

From backpacking across 1970s Europe to reporting on football legends, Simon Michaelson's life has been anything but ordinary. But when family tragedy strikes and his sister falls prey to a cult, Simon's journey turns inward, sparking a lifelong quest for truth in a chaotic world.

This Is How It Is blends candid memoir with sharp social commentary. Simon challenges the status quo, questioning the necessity of politicians, money, and war. He reflects on the sanctity of the NHS, the folly of the British Empire, and the search for peace in the Middle East. Through conversations with strangers on a train and deep spiritual reflection, he argues that humanity's potential is stifled by the very systems designed to protect us.

Readers will find a unique mix of Watford FC nostalgia, Christian faith, and uncompromising political critique. Whether you seek inspiration from a life well-lived or a catalyst to rethink society, this book offers a provocative perspective on what it means to be alive in the twenty-first century.
