140 stories all short and simple. One can get addicted to Nick Owen's work, so simple yet so educational, meaningful and empowering. Each of the stories come marked with various symbols resembling work, life, the dark shadow and oneself. Nick's other two books are a prime example of his great work. I found that even his appendix was written well, it flowed and offered guidance and food for thought. This book is much a talk point in many conversations I have. I'm using the stories as metaphors for my clients. As Nick points out, humans have the potential to develop complexity throughout their life. These simple stories just make us sit and reflect, allowing our being, our mind to find the true meaning.
Nick has used psychology and philosophy to embrace the attention of the reader and listener alike, in the short mesmerising stories. Its a great tool for therapists, mediators, teachers, business leaders and those who wish to share knowledge without having to give speeches. A book that is captivating.
