How to Survive Love and Other Disgraces: Counseling & Consoling

By Tiny Torfs

HOW TO SURVIVE LOVE AND OTHER DISGRACES, Counseling & Consoling (Black&white interior for this version) - is a sweet-ironic, humoristic, spiritual guide full of advice that will help you to get out of all sorts of sentimentally and existentially uneasy situations. As an Illustrated textbook with on every page colourful images of the protagonists - an owl and a mouse - this funny-serious philosophical self-help book will mainly help you to close a love chapter and to open a new one or to just get born again, building confidence and discovering your potential to become a happy or at least serene individual (again), with a defined identity in this world. It's an inspiring and swinging dialogue between Consil on one hand, a sympathetic owl, counseling because representing wisdom and our conscience - and on the other hand Consol, a cute little mouse representing us, terrestrial beings, sometimes a bit lazy, with no wings to escape, and a lot of doubts and confusion in its head, but also more practical and realistic than the owl. The owl gives us the instruments to start all over, reminding us what our conscience is usually trying to tell us we should do, whereas the mouse gives us its point of view, reminding the limits living on earth automatically generates. This book summarizes the principal spiritual "life and love-guidelines" that can be read in another book by Tiny Torfs, entitled THE BIG BOOK OF COMFORT, A book about love and other disgraces (on Amazon since February 2015) which has a more outspoken autobiographical intake with scientific information about male and female psychology and behaviour, and about how or why relationships work or don't. Together, the owl and the mouse look for solutions to various unlucky situations. The five chapters treat how to cope with general bad luck, a broken heart, solitude, new love, and the way to create your personal renaissance. The Italian version of the book is entitled "COME SOPRAVVIVERE ALL'AMORE ED ALTRE DISGRAZIE - Consigli e Consolazioni.HOW TO SURVIVE LOVE AND OTHER DISGRACES is the first episode of/ and therefore introduces a new series called "Counseling and Consoling," referring to the concept of the contents, being a dialogue between the mouse and the owl, between our conscience and our ego, between heaven and earth - though always in an amusing, ironic, psychological-philosophical key.This book is the perfect gift to cheer up any friend you care for, that is going through hard times, in love or in life.
