Openings
A Zen Joke Guide for Serious Problem Solving
George A. Katchmer, Jr.

Unhook Thyself!

Let's face it. Life can be a problem. Or at least, life can be filled with problems—killer deadlines, arguments with your teenager, even just wanting more joy in your life.

Openings is a helpful, humuoros, and hard-nosed guide to problem-solving. Author George A. Katchmer, Jr. presents a set of practical exercises drawn from Zen Buddhism, Western mysticism, and depth psychology to help you solve real life problems.

As a practicing attorney, Katchmer knows of what he speaks—real, ugly, sticky problems that have to be solved right away. Anecdotes from his professional and private life show how his exercises really work.

So clear some space. Take a deep breath. Look inside. Find out what Openings can do for you, and what you can do for yourself.
