Book excerpt: The purpose of the book is to show you how to acquire the 'psychological muscle' to cope with the vicissitudes of life in such a way that virtually nothing can floor you. No, we are not aiming at making you insensitive, or to kid you that pain doesn't exist. In all probability you will, from time to time, continue to experience disappointments and frustrations and suffer the pain of grief, sadness and sorrow as everyone else. The world is certainly no rose garden. However, with the right mental attitude you can take most of the sting out of the pain, when occasionally some personal misfortune knocks off your perch, or life give you a tough time. The book will help you develop a way of thinking about yourself and the worlds around you that, if you work at it, you will be able to cope more effectively with your life when the going gets tougher than you would have otherwise thought possible.
