This detailed work is partly reminiscent of a detailed scientific commentary on the well-known aphorism: “Lord, give me peace of mind — to accept what I cannot change; courage to change what I can, and wisdom to distinguish one from the other.
Psychiatrist Michael Bennett applies this approach to all areas of our lives—relationships with parents and children, with colleagues, and with ourselves. Each time, analyzing a new problem, he clearly formulates, point by point: this is what you want, but cannot get; here’s what can be achieved/changed, and here’s how. The coherent concept of Michael Bennett (“to score” on negative emotions, form realistic expectations and act) was presented by his daughter, screenwriter Sarah Bennett, clearly and captivatingly, complemented by funny tables and sidebars.
