Based on work with thousands of patients in well over 50,000 hours in clinical settings, Friday's Laws examines how normal and not-so normal people live side by side in an increasingly difficult world. Human beings are interested in other human beings. How they live, their feelings and how they cope and survive as part of the their individual and collective human condition. What other human beings do to win at living becomes a target for all of us. We, as human beings, emulate "normal" behaviors that we feel are good and potentially productive.

Friday's Laws examines these behaviors and gives readers eight laws to create a strong framework to use to achieve normalcy. Getting insight and understanding of the function of various brain-section scuffles is the best weapon you can have to interpret co-workers, spouses, families and, most importantly, yourselves.

M. Scott Peck redefined psychotherapy as The Road Less Traveled. Paul J. Friday's eight laws of effective thinking provide the guide posts that allow the trip to take place. A clever and insightful description of what makes people change and how they
do it.
