Don't be confused by the title!

This is not a self-help book! A friend gave me this book several years ago. I have no background in psychology, behavioural science or sociology but this book gave me a framework in which to ponder and discuss the behaviour of people such as Mother Theresa and the person next door. I think Sophie's Choice did the same thing in relation to philosophy. I have recommended it to many of my friends and colleagues since. There is a lot of anxiety born of confusion in the world because people aren't able to analyse or comprehend their own and other people's behaviour. Dorothy discusses this in terms of a perpetual wanting of more and an inability to recognise it in ourselves. Well done Dorothy!
