Dedication
To all who read this book, I salute you for wanting to change the way you live for the better and for having the courage to be who you are as fully as possible.
To all who encourage me everyday to keep going and sharing their lives with me, family small and large. But most of all the little angels who came to teach me – Alexa and Blake, my grandchildren.
Everybody hurts sometimes, and when we do it is nice to have Derek O’Neill around. His excellent little books on the things that get us, (fear, anger, depression, victimhood, mental blocks) allow us to find our way safely through our psychological minefields and arrive safely at the other side. Read them when you need them.
