Title: A good guide when life gets too real.
Product review: The Kopps are psychologists who appear to have become worried at the "What, me worry?" mentality of the Hippie era. The book's title is from a Hindu fable told in the Preface whose theme is the unreality of reality. In a progression of 60's era pictures accompanied by brief observations on the difficulties of life, Kopp unfolds his philosophy that "I'm not ok, you're not ok--and that's ok". Or as another epigram puts it, "You can too stand it--it's only pain".I use this book in my high school Psychology classes as a resource when a kid hits a rough patch, or as a conversation starter on life issues. It has been a valuable asset, and I trust the book.
