�We tell ourselves stories to make sense of the world. These stories ultimately determine if we will lead healthy, productive lives or get into trouble. Renowned psychologist Timothy Wilson
proposes a radical new view: although these stories can be very hard to change, they can change��urprisingly quickly��f tweaked in the right way. He considers a broad range of problems, exposes
failed attempts to solve them, and reframes them with new stories. Scientifically tested, his practical advice and simple techniques have been found to bring about real results including
enhanced happiness, personal meaning, and social progress.
