"Step into a world of boundless curiosity and transform your thinking. ""The World We Know"" explores the complexities of reality, perception, and the power of our shared human experience. Sheryle Gillihan shares personal stories, case studies, and compelling examples that highlight the malleability of truth, the strong influence of our social environments, and the beauty of diverse perspectives.

Discover how embracing different viewpoints can reshape your understanding of yourself and the world around you. With actionable insights, this exploration invites you to question, reflect, and navigate the intricacies of our collective reality. Empower yourself to positively impact the world as you challenge your beliefs and expand your horizons.

Sheryle's experiences as a first-generation immigrant, married with her faith-led entrepreneurship, and her military experience both as a dependent and a soldier have shaped her perspectives and strengthened her resolve to make a difference in the world. In her role as an author, Sheryle brings a unique blend of objectivity and personal connection. Drawing from her own experiences, observations, and aspirations, she weaves a narrative that speaks to the essence of her journey, an exploration on the topics of truth and belief, touching on psychology, social sciences, philosophy, epistemology, organizational behavior, and cultural and social beliefs.

The topics explored in this book are intellectual endeavors and deeply personal expressions of her quest for understanding, empathy, and acceptance. Sheryle courageously shares true events, her own stories, and stories she has heard to provoke thought and inspire action. Throughout this book, Sheryle emphasizes that her truth may differ from others, yet it is through these diverse perspectives that growth and transformation can occur. It is her earnest desire that this book catalyzes awareness, empathy, and acceptance-an urgent call to action for building a more compassionate and harmonious world."
