Book overview
This is the first in a series of inspirational/motivational gift books that use inanimate objects as metaphors for enhancing the way we live. In this lighthearted look at personal problem solving patterns, "Cheaper Than Therapy: How to Keep Life's Small Problems from Becoming Big Ones" illustrates "The Lesson of the Paper Clips." Gina Greenlee uses playful images of pliant paper clips to show how choosing what seems to be the easy way out of life's small problems often results in bigger, more overwhelming ones. When paper clips hook onto each other and wind up tangled on our desks, Gina invites us to examine our interaction with these modest fragments of wire to uncover the metaphor for transforming how we live. "Cheaper Than Therapy: How to Keep Life's Small Problems from Becoming Big Ones" is a whimsical yet thought provoking handbook for everyone who wants to become more skilled at handling whatever life brings their way.

Gina Greenlee wastes no words in making her point. With a sparseness reminiscent of Haiku, CHEAPER THAN THERAPY: HOW TO KEEP LIFE'S PROBLEMS FROM BECOMING BIG ONES takes you deep into familiar territory. That's because what Greenlee calls "the lesson of the paper clips" is what our mamas and daddies taught us, but we keep forgetting: handle "it" now so "it" won't handle you later.
Seems way too easy, right? Precisely Greenlee's point as she reminds us that the simple approach is still the best. Requiring no cute outfits, nary a potion, mantra, sermon, nor even a bible verse, CHEAPER THAN THERAPY still reads like the gospel it is: Each of us has the power to untangle life's predicaments and a big hand in preventing them altogether. And doing it once pretty much guarantees we can do it again...and again...and like it!
David Schulz's beautifully illustrated graphics lend the perfect touch of whimsy to this trip inside ourselves and cleverly reinforce the book's message. You'll never see a paper clip the same again.
CHEAPER THAN THERAPY is as much a gold mine for individuals who prefer self-help as it is for small or large group trainings in work settings committed to building problem-solving (and prevention) skills.
Buy a book for yourself, one to loan, and ten to give away. I did...twice.
