Review: What's Wrong With My Family - And How to Live Your

[VTell]

"What's Wrong With My Family? and How to Life Your Best Life Anyway" is the second book written by award-winning author Susan Mary Malone and her therapist/doctor brother, Gary Malone, and though it is a psych book, it is really easy to understand.

One of the best attributes of the book is its use of well-known figures in pop culture as analogies for chapter titles to easily and quickly inform the reader of the exact situation discussed. The whole book is like that - even the cover depicts "Alice in Wonderland" characters - the Mad Hatter tells Alice and Rabbit "We're all quite mad here!" Part Two: Parenting and Other Foibles, utilizes popular movie titles such as "War of the Roses: Marital couples in constant conflict."

I got my copy through Amazon, as I couldn't find it at B&N, and read the whole book even though some chapters didn't apply to my situation because those sections really helped me understand a lot of other people.

Their first book, "Five Keys for Understanding Men" helped me through a lengthy divorce recovery period - although I really should refer to that time as a period of preparation for a new, healthy relationship.
