Rules of Thumb for Taming the Monsters Within Us isn't just another self-help manual - it's a practical and provocative guide to managing the unruly forces inside ourselves. The author likens our inner impulses to monsters - anger, pride, selfishness - which are always tugging at us like unruly dogs on leashes. We can't eliminate them, but we can learn to tame them, reducing their power to sabotage us.

If you're ready to cautiously take charge and to live alongside your inner monsters without letting them run the show, these rules of thumb can change the way you think.
