One of those few books which has changed my life!

I came accross the book in a tiny second hand book store in Fayetteville, Arkansas. The cover looked cheap (wild yellow with red, white and black letters), but Kurt Vonnegut's words on the back cover, as well as a couple of pages I glanced through in a hurry, made me buy it. I have read it in a day. Then I made my brother (a publisher in Hungary) publish it. I have just completed the translation. Why is this book so good? Because it explains, why so many of us are not getting what we really want from life. Even though we are talented, smart, and hardworking. Although she is a psychiatrist, the author uses colloqual language, so that everyone understands her. I liked her humor, too. In case you hesitate to buy the book, I suggest you buy it. I guarantee, it will change your life. As it will hopefully change many Hungarian lives, too, as soon as it would be published.
