How to Cope with Your Nerves

This little booklet is surprisingly effective at giving you general directions on life's common problems, neurosis and ways of getting out of all this. The tone is casual, direct and not patronizing. It has a refreshing quality: you don't have to put up with different "schools" or jargon. It's just like the "family doctors" that used to be two generations ago. It doesn't shy away from common traumas, like dominating parents and sex. In fact, its interpretations are rather daring, not exactly "proven by scientific data", but, like the best Freud, one "feels he just may be right". I already asked for another of his books, I only wish I had come across this little gem sooner. Perfect for reading on a bus, in a queue or in any other place that doesn't allow for perusing a lengthy book that requires your undivided attention.
