Change Your Life and Everyone In It Chapter One - Why ask why? Fire your shrink? Before you cancel your next therapy appointment, or assume this book isn't for you because you're not in therapy or would never consider it, keep reading. Whether you know it or not, you have been influenced by ideas emanating from the therapy world even if you've never set foot in a therapist's office.
