a free pdf of the short version of this book

download the worksheets, etc

I'm just cracking this book, but will be giving it a real go. Her method seems sound, and I find myself grinning when I begin to see how it breaks up assumptions and investigates thoughts and 'stories' to determine their truth.

Willard: I don't see any method at all, sir.

Well, do I ever feel like a shitheel. Not only was I not aware of this until this evening, I've been around here so little that no one passed it on to me until tonight.

As someone whose marriage is teetering on the brink, albeit for different reasons, just let me say that I feel for both of you. It's sort of like hearing the Homecoming King and Queen broke up or something.

I know that you two are both intelligent and articulate, and that you feel things deeply. These three things will help you as you sort out the issues and plan a future.

In the meantime, I think you're both very special, and will keep you in my thoughts.
