Most of us are familiar and we have probably utilized the following strategy at least sometimes:
"Hope for the best and prepare for the worst!" This book deals with one of my favorite paradoxes.
On the one hand, I consider myself to be a very optimistic person. On the other hand I like to be realistic and prudent and I do want to be ready for the worst ... just in case. This book has been extremely validating and empowering for me because it has helped me to overcome any guilt that I may have felt about not feeling obliged to always think positively. This book also deals with it the following paradox in Chapter 7. No Size Fits All: Different Folks, Different Strategies. This book totally complements and reinforces what I have myself written about paradox in Missing Links in Chapter 3. I strongly recommend it!
