Synopsis
We all know talking about our troubles is a good idea, don't we? A problem shared is a problem halved, right? Wrong. Timothy Wilson is here to show us that our psychology is not that simple. The stories we tell ourselves become who we are. And often we are not the most skilled, or wisest, storytellers. Any good novelist knows that placing an episode here rather than there can produce widely differing effects. The same is true of our internal narratives, what Wilson calls our 'personal interpretation' of the events that befall us.
But all of us can be taught 'story editing' skills, just like a novelist. By shaping our personal narratives, we can create a sustained increase in our personal well-being, and develop new approaches to meaning. Supported by cutting-edge research psychology findings, Timothy Wilson argues that the key to happiness is learning how to redirect the story of your life.
