You may have noticed that as we proceed through
the book, we’re focusing less on each individual
part and more on their relationships with one another. I feel

was steeped in what’s called systems thinking, and that helped
me listen to them better, rather than being overwhelmed with
the complexity of it all.

Introduction
As a psychotherapist, I’ve worked with many
people who came to me shortly after their lives
had crashed. Everything was going great until the sudden heart
attack, divorce, or death of a child. If not for that life-jarring
event, they would never have thought to see a therapist,
because they felt successful.
After the event they can’t find the same drive or
determination. Their former goals of having big houses or
reputations have lost their meaning. They feel at sea and
vulnerable in a way that’s unfamiliar and scary.
