As he confronts crucial issues - such as the meaning of happiness and the importance of emotional intelligence - he aims to strengthen both your mind and your relationships, and reduce your vulnerability to debilitating conditions such as depression.
Passionately argued, and supported by a wide range of fascinating case histories, questionnaires and the very latest scientific research, this is an invaluable, twenty-first century survival handbook - and the ultimate self-help guide to staying sane.
