The Raven is as much a paradoxical creature as he is important in the myths of many native cultures. The central character of these stories, the Raven is considered the benevolent creator, filling the world with beauty and harmony, the master mind behind all that is good and looked upon with warm admiration. On the other hand, he is often viewed as a malevolent conniving, scheming trickster with self-gratification as his only goal.

Kushtaka or Kooshdakhaa is a Tlingit word meaning “land otter man.” The Kushtaka is on one hand the nemeses of the Tlingit people, yet necessary to their Shamans who play a critical role in the survival of the Tlingits.

This book is a satire on self-help books. As a writer of self-help books, you can become disillusioned with people who are unable to change even when they really want to. Therefore, I have written this book for all those jerks, assholes, and, generally speaking, miserable people that are comfortable with where they are at but still dream of changing. This book is for them, to all those "Miserable Assholes"! Now for those who know what a satire is, this book is to ridicule and scorn those into changing by seeing what a mess they really are.
