5.0 out of 5 stars Practical and lucid, 14 Aug 2007
By Self-help junkie (Birmingham, England) - See all my reviews
An excellent text on the importance of stories in our lives - stories not only create our world, but we are created by the stories that are 'allowed' in our culture. A fascinating overview - with some practical ways of understanding better your own life-story, its origins, its limitations, and how to change it.
