Redirect by Timothy D. Wilson, author of Strangers to Ourselves, is a groundbreaking psychology book that shows how changing the stories we tell about ourselves can help us solve our problems.

Why can most self-help books leave you worse off? How can youth rehabilitation programs make an impact? And how can volunteer work help the entire society? Redirecting the stories you tell about yourself – and changing the stories others tell about themselves – can help everyone, whether it is improving education and parenting skills or reducing crime, teenage pregnancies, and drug and alcohol abuse.

This timely book offers practical advice that has been proven to deliver real results. Redirect will show you exactly how you can become happier and more successful, using only the power of your stories.
