Watzlawick's instructions not to follow are the first step to happiness. Paul Watzlawick wrote a million-selling book with his "Instructions for Unhappiness," which only leads to the conclusion that suffering must be incredibly beautiful. Unlike conventional "happiness guides," Watzlawick's stories show us what we do every day against our possible happiness. Because each of us is constantly standing in the wrong line and experiencing self-fulfilling prophecies. Since Watzlawick makes us aware of how we constantly stand in our own way, this book can only be read with one eye laughing and the other crying. "The success of this book proves that this kind of wisdom is what is needed today." The World.
