Do you and your emotions get hijacked every year at the Holidays? Then this book is definitely for you. It is chock-full of easy-to-implement tools, techniques, and mindsets to put into play BEFORE you even arrive onto the scene of your next Holiday drama. The trick is to approach the Holidays as you would any event by planning in advance and finely tuning your expectations. Expectations, after all, are premeditated resentments. Author Silver Rose confesses, "In the past I approached family holidays like Martha Stewart on crack. I wanted to control everyone and everything and they never cooperated!" After lots of experimentation over two decades, a clear set of tools emerged and I became less and less "hooked" by drama. Now I look back at my Holidays with serenity instead of sobs." These tools work! Give yourself an early Holiday gift and buy this book.
