Phil Stutz has spent his life pondering the big challenges that we all face, and this profound book puts the conclusions he's reached at your fingertips. Each essay will change the way you think, but taken all together, this book becomes something far more than the sum of its parts, a compendium of human experience and knowledge that will reframe your worldview. There are hard truths here-the acknowledgment that life is full of pain and not a single one of us is special enough to escape it-but we need to understand and accept them in order to realize our full potential. This book addresses real-world circumstances, such as what children need, rising above envy, defeating your bad habits, the positive side of anger, and facing insecurities.
