Added 3/8/15.
I read this book a long time ago. I just now remembered, as I looked at one of my book shelves, that I own a copy (paperback). I vaguely remember that it made me feel good about myself. I remember it as being in the genre of "armchair philosophy", which to me consists of ideas about life, gained from my own informal experiences. (There are other definitions but that is how I see it.)
Now, as I browse online, I see that the book has almost been forgotten. I wonder if I read it now if would seem so special. I believe it was very popular at one time. It was first published in 1977. Maybe I should take a look at it again. I remember saving the book because at the time it seemed to make a lot of sense and gave me good outlook about life.
A review at Google books says:
====================================
"A distinguished psychologist and author shows that a fulfilled, meaningful, mature life can be made possible by accepting and living through problems rather than attempting to hide from them."

====================================
I can agree that "acceptance" can be a way to deal with problems. But how does one reach that frame of mind?
