"I challenge you to a game Or, rather, I am inviting you, the reader, to play a game with me, the psychologist, a game of Snakes and Ladders. Now I know you feel you grew out' of that game years ago, You might want to read no further, saying that you don't feel like playing childish games. "First of all, let me tell you that we are going to play the game in a completely new way. We will even change the board somewhat. Secondly, to start to turn our snakes into ladders, we need to look again at some of our childish games'. You might change, in a positive way, at least some of the things in your life; whatever you truly want to change." "This is a valuable and practical self-help resource that should assist people with a range of difficulties in a humorous yet insightful manner." ( Dr. Michael Berk. Associate Professor .
