Through his extensive research, he explains the book that understanding economics without understanding philosophy is impossible. Before writing this book, he faced life-threatening health issues that left him unable to walk or speak. Despite health struggles, Michael kept a positive attitude that helped him come out stronger.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In this exclusive interview, he talks more about his condition and what inspired him to write his book.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Interviewer: Please give us a brief of your background. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Michael DeVinney: My name is Michael DeVinney, I&rsquo;m a Navy veteran, and economic expert. I have recently published my book Pure Political Philosophy: Natural Law and Sulaocracy. When I&rsquo;m not working, I love read, play golf, attend sporting events, and spend time with my family. I currently live in Arlington, Virginia.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Interviewer: Tell us about the health issues you&rsquo;ve overcome?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Michael DeVinney: In August 2014, I was taken to the hospital due to vertigo and vomiting. I was discovered I had an arterial dissection. Shortly after, hydrocephalus, which resulted in a craniotomy. Essentially, I wasn&rsquo;t getting blood to my brain due to the arterial dissection (ruptured artery), which was further complicated by hydrocephalus (fluid buildup on in my head). Hydrocephalus can cause severe damage, it&rsquo;s extremely painful, so I had to go into emergency surgery to remove a piece of my skull to ease the pressure on my brain (craniotomy).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Interviewer: What was your thought process during the recovery period?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Michael DeVinney: I narrowly escaped severe damage. I was unable to walk, speak, and much more. Recovering is not as simple as relearning tasks. It&rsquo;s difficult to explain how I feel on every movement (maybe being dizzy while wearing weights on only the left side), but I have made a tremendous recovery and will continue to improve. Everyone experiences difficult life situations. I don&rsquo;t want to sound like I&rsquo;m giving a sob story or want people to feel bad for me. It is what I have experienced and how it shaped my personality.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Interviewer: Have you made a good recovery? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Michael DeVinney: Yes, I have made a good recovery and will continue to do so, but this can&rsquo;t be done without a good attitude and hard work. I was unable to do much and could have felt bad for myself and never returned to work. However, I have never once had a bad attitude or was upset about what happened. All I could do was try my best to improve&mdash;that is just what I did. A lot can happen that&rsquo;s beyond your control, mistakes will be made, and much more. Nobody is perfect and nobody is mistake-free, but dwelling on the past can cause you to stagnate as an individual.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Interviewer: When did you decide to write your book &ldquo;Pure Political Philosophy&rdquo;?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Michael DeVinney: After the stroke, I worked and went back to school full time, I&rsquo;ve patented an invention, what is next? I decided to write a book. I knew understanding economics without understanding philosophy is impossible, but few have made the connection. The ones who do, rarely put it in one book. Besides, psychology fits like a puzzle with economics, but not a single person made that connection, until now. I wished there was a book that explained all of it, so I began to write. <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/1098020227\/\" target=\"_blank\">Pure Political Philosophy: Natural Law and Sulaocracy<\/a>, incorporates all three. I remained consistent and made contributions to all three subjects while illustrating the connection.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Interviewer: Tell us more about your book.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Michael DeVinney: My book explains in detail the impossibility of understanding economics without understanding philosophy. It features the conclusions after years of research and study. In this book, I have defined ethics and morals, using deductive logic, apply economic laws to political organizations, and identify various psychological effects that result. In the section at the end, I have provided a reading list to increase their knowledge.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Interviewer: What other projects are you currently working on?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Michael DeVinney: I have other books in mind, but they are in the very early stages. As of now, I&rsquo;ll be working and workout&mdash;trying to recover. I don&rsquo;t know exactly how the future will unfold, but I will always improve.<\/p>\n<p><span style='font-size:18px !important;'>Media Contact<\/span><br \/><strong>Contact Person:<\/strong> Michael DeVinney<br \/><strong>Email:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/email_contact_us.php?pr=michael-devinney-author-of-the-book-pure-political-philosophy-natural-law-and-sulaocracy-talks-about-his-struggles-after-hydrocephalus-and-craniotomy\" rel=\"nofollow\">Send Email<\/a><br \/><strong>Country:<\/strong> United States<br \/><strong>Website:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/michael-devinney-9ab3696b\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">www.linkedin.com\/in\/michael-devinney-9ab3696b\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><object type=\"text\/html\" data=\"http:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/michael-devinney-9ab3696b\/\" style=\"width:900px; height:400px;\"><\/object><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/press_stat.php?pr=michael-devinney-author-of-the-book-pure-political-philosophy-natural-law-and-sulaocracy-talks-about-his-struggles-after-hydrocephalus-and-craniotomy\" alt=\"\" width=\"1px\" height=\"1px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michael DeVinney is a Navy veteran and an economic expert who recently launched his book &ldquo;Pure Political Philosophy: Natural Law and Sulaocracy&rdquo; on Amazon.
