Applying generalism in everyday life
Welcome! You’ve identified yourself as a consumer, and that covers a lot of areas. For example, you may be looking to make a significant repair or improvement to your home. Or maybe you need to make a decision about repairs or upgrades to your vehicle or other equipment. Perhaps you’re looking to acquire additional property or make financial investments, and you want to make a wise selection. Or you might be facing health concerns and relying on medical specialists to help you make critical choices.
Regardless of how you fit the definition of consumer, you’re probably dealing with a complicated issue. To help you navigate it, you need the advice of specialists—such as attorneys, financial advisers, architects, contractors, medical specialists, auto technicians, or others.
You may feel you’re at their mercy, and you’re tired of the frustration, confusion, or intimidation that can accompany conversations with them. You don’t want to waste your time or money. And in the case of medical issues, your life or the life of someone you love may even be at stake.
