Bach acknowledges that life's tribulations can be difficult. But he points out that it's still worth the effort to try to overcome those challenges: "It takes just as much effort to have a 'bad life,' in which you don't get what you want, as it does to have a 'good life,' where you do. So, given the choice, why not go for the good life?" Bach's style is conversational and his text comes alive with anecdotes about couples who have transformed their lives. Many who read it are likely to find the tools and inspiration to do the same. --Carolyn Leitch
