This review is from: The Cahill Factor: Turning Adversity into Advantage (Paperback)

Add "adversity" to death and taxes for inevitable life events. You won't find better examples of how to approach the roadblocks we are all sure to encounter than the ones psychologist Teena Cahill describes from her own life experience in this gem of a book. The book is helpful and realistic and sprinkled throughout with humor. Don't miss this one!
