Synopsis
For anyone who has ever read a self-help book only to find that the situations and dynamics described are pretty foreign to his or her own every-day life, this new book is the answer. Dr. Hillman, an Albany, NY area therapist has authored a collection of observations concerning the real problems real people face every day of their real every-day lives. (Bad hair days, morning breath and relationship problems). It is frankly invaluable.
In this book, no one is from Venus; no one is from Mars. Instead the book starts with the premise that we're all from here, and that we're all pretty much the same, constantly doing the same things and winding up with the same unsatisfactory results. The normal journey of life is full of landmines, and the trick to living a fairly crisis-free life is to have a map (with directions) showing where those landmines lie hidden. This book offers such a map, so that this self-help book really offers "HELP!"
The reader is presented with a host of new ways for looking at old familiar challenges, such as Operating Fantasies, Assumptions and even society's expectations of how we should act under pressure. With the use of comical characters, we see a bit of ourselves and of people we recognize from our own every-day lives. (From your blow-hard brother-in-law, to your knucklehead husband, to your guilt throwing mother).
For anyone who is constantly baffled, frustrated or thwarted by life's apparently endless set of challenges, this book offers a clear and concise way to help each of us get out of our own way.
