THE COURT CONVENES
 
A Philosophical Trial in Which You Are the Only Witness
​

 

The court is now in session.

​

Not a court of law.​ A court of conscience.

​

In this courtroom there is no prosecutor, no jury, and no verdict waiting to be delivered. There is only a series of questions. Questions about truth, character, courage, suffering, love, responsibility, and the life you are building one choice at a time.

​

Drawing upon philosophy, psychology, lived experience, and decades of work helping people confront the consequences of their actions, Dr. Rick Novak invites readers into a different kind of trial. Not the trial of other people, but the trial of their own assumptions, beliefs, fears, and certainties.

​

Each chapter centers on a question that cannot be answered once and forgotten. These are questions that follow us through relationships, failures, successes, losses, and moments of change. Questions that ask not what happened to us, but who we are becoming.

​

This is not a book of easy answers. It is a book about learning to sit honestly with difficult questions.

 

The evidence has been presented.

 

The deliberation is yours.
