When we get in a problem situation, we often keep making the same mistake over and over again. Sometimes, the problem itself is repeating a remedy that never works. It's a broken record or a hamster running in a wheel that keeps going around and around and gets nowhere. This book is about ways to change the game, to get on track and unstuck. William Glasser, Phoebe Prosky, David Baum, Joan Barth, Michael Hoyt, airline pilot Doug Doherty and about thirty others share their lives and experiences in Making the Impossible Difficult: Tools for Getting Unstuck . The editors and writers invite you to share their struggles, triumphs, and experiences in this anthology of poems, illustrations, stories, and essays. Some are short, some long; some require thinking, others are for drinking in. Here there are examples of tools for getting unstuck from the troubles that beset us all.
This little book is a gem! By blending personal stories from friends and family with his own commentary, John Frykman spins a comforting thread that demonstrates that creativity, heart, and willingness to "think outside the box" are often all that's needed to get "unstuck" from whatever's holding you back from happiness and your real life. I have read and re-read many sections of this book; it has a permanent place on my nightstand!
