Publisher's summary

In Practical Fairy Tales for Everyday Living, fanciful characters that one can identify with battle personal problems, mishaps, and mayhem. None of them are guaranteed a happily-ever-after, but by applying the fundamentals of general semantics - a communication-based self-help system - they are better able to evaluate and understand everyday conundrums to successfully vanquish challenging situations. While these 24 stories may not be true in the literal sense, G.K. Chesterton observed that, “Fairy tales are more than true, not because they tell us dragons exist, but because they tell us dragons can be beaten.”

Hits the sweet spot

Some of us like to ‘make things explainable’. Yet in real, in for example social settings, that is an impossible task. The next best thing is to do it in fairy tales! This book does that: it take multiple, sometimes difficult, real life scenarios, and explains them. It is not real, but it is not far from being real, and that makes this book useful to the readers.
