The book is based on the author’s belief that instead of helping you figure out WHY you have a problem, to provide an explanation for it, as traditional therapy does, you are better off being helped out of a problem. His discovery of this alternative came during his youth, when he decided life was too difficult and he wanted to kill himself. He found a reason to live (admittedly a somewhat arbitrary one) and then went about making simple changes in his life to create more happiness. This solutions-oriented strategy eventually freed him from his depression and provided the basis for his own therapeutic practice.
In spite of the seemingly dire genesis, the book is lighthearted, conversational, and often humorous, in tone. Each chapter details one of the “Ten Simple Ways to Change Your Life” of the title, using examples from his practice and from his own life. It’s both an easy read and an easy-to-apply strategy for breaking out of whatever ails you.
