Not So Fair Fairy Tales

Following your dreams is bad. Everyone around me must be happy. Other people are more important than I am. Do you recognise yourself or your loved ones in these statements? And wouldn't you rather their stories had a happy ending, instead of a very unhappy one? Then feel free to read a fairy tale again after all these years, scribble in the book, laugh without shame at the illustrations, daydream a little, and maybe even change your life. In eight stories and one 'un-fairy tale' for all the people who are too nice, indecisive, or can't say no, you'll find plenty of advice and exercises on how to treat yourself better and turn your own fairy tale into a story with a happy ending.
