Staying OK: How to Maximize Good Feelings and Minimize Bad Ones

Picking up where their fifteen-million-copy bestseller, I'm OK—You're OK, left off, Amy Harris and Thomas Harris explore all those things that get in the way of feeling OK and prescribe specific tools for overcoming them. Staying OK is filled with appealing anecdotes, perfect analogies, and time-tested practical ideas for resolving conflicts, taking charge of your time, defining what you want, learning to keep people rather than lose them, and learning to parent effectively. It's a book about maximizing good feelings, minimizing bad ones, and living life to the fullest.

"We need this wonderful book so badly! It is even clearer and more helpful than its predecessor." —Harold S. Kushner, #1 bestselling author of When Bad Things Happen to Good People

"This is the book that we have all been waiting for . . . It is full of wisdom and insight and positive help in our search for wholeness." —Bruce Larson, author of There's a Lot More to Health Than Not Being Sick

"The Harris team has written another fine book, [with] entirely practical advice—not on how to run away from . . . personal problems, but on how to get out from under them by substituting positive feelings in yourself and encouraging the avoidance of oppressive, negative feelings in your children and others . . . The book is highly recommended reading for all." —Ray H. Rosenman, MD, coauthor of Type A Behavior and Your Heart
