I was fascinated to read Bernie Fallon's book "Goodology" and learn his strategies about living a better life.  This is a wonderful book that creates a consciousness about handling our upsets in responsible ways.  Life can keep on triggering negative responses within ourselves and then it comes out of us in ways that are self-limiting.
