About This Item
New York: W. W. Norton & Company, 1983. First Edition. hardcover. Very Good /Very Good +. 5x1x8. First Edition. Hardcover. Bound in quarter blue cloth with tan paper boards and gilt text on the spine. Do you see the past through a rosy filter that makes it seem like Paradise Lost? Are you convinced that traffic lights always turn red for you? Do you have to win (so as not to lose)? After extricating yourself from a bad relationship, do you find another partner just like the previous one? If so, congratulations! You have the makings of an unhappiness expert. With the techniques in this book, you can raise yourself to the genius level. A word of warning, however. Along the way you may begin to ask yourself, "How did I manage to turn myself into my own worst enemy?" Fortunately, this tongue-in-cheek (but serious) volume takes a look at that question too. 125pp. Black dustjacket with rainbow colored text.<br><br>CONDITION: Light shelf wear. Previous owner name in black pen on flyleaf. Pages are crisp and clean. Binding and text block are sound. Dustjacket has mild rubbing and edge wear. Full refund if not satisfied.
