Each of us faces problems that can destroy our entire lives. The husband lost his job, became depressed and started drinking; the child got involved with bad company and stopped studying; My wife won't let me see my kids after the divorce. In a word, life is unfair, and, worse, it is completely unclear what to do about it. Paradoxically, the more complex the situation, the more we hope for a simple solution. We are looking for a quick and easy remedy for all ills - and many popular authors promise us exactly this, without being responsible for the result. Dr. Michael Bennett, a psychiatrist for 30 years, and his daughter, screenwriter Sarah Bennett, offer a challenging but realistic approach. Not all problems can be solved, because our possibilities are not limitless. You cannot waste energy on false hopes, self-flagellation, self-pity and despair. The Bennetts teach us how to accept our problem so that we can then begin to solve it gradually, calmly and pragmatically. In this book you will find a specific algorithm for getting out of the most difficult life situations.
