After 30 years of mental health counseling, psychotherapist Guy Shilts has created 13 rules for living based on his observations about human nature. Designed as a self-help guide, this book will help readers investigate whether they are stuck in some survival pattern from their youth, it will help them understand how family issues follow them through life until they are identified (and modified), and it will help them make decisions that will lead to their own happiness (and not someone else's).
