From the Author
This book is the first systematic philosophical counseling approach to use philosophical wisdom to treat some of the most destructive fallacies endemic to humankind. For example, many people suffer from metaphysical insecurity as a result of making perfectionistic demands on a universe inherently imperfect. Standard psychological approaches are not equipped to deal with this metaphysical malais because the philosophical insights needed to overcome it are outside the purview of classical psychological training. In this book, I have identified eleven cardinal fallacies that tend to create the lion share of self-inflicted, needless human suffering; and I have provided many potent antidotes to these fallacies gleaned from the history of philosophy. The book shows how living philosophically according to these lights can help you better cope with the stresses of ordinary living, and, what is more, aspire to a life pregnant with deeper meaning, insight, value, and purpose.
