520    "Every life is an unfolding story and how individuals tell
       their story matters. Recent Stanford and Columbia 
       University studies showed that how we view the story of 
       our life shapes the life itself. Who are the heroes and 
       villains? Where does the plot twist and how are conflicts 
       resolved? Whether we are considering how a job was lost, a
       relationship clicked, or a dream deferred, we have the 
       ability to empower ourselves or turn ourselves into 
       hapless victims. Kim Schneiderman knows the power of story
       as both a therapist and a writer. Her clients often tell 
       their stories in ways that keep them stuck but when they 
       employ the storytelling techniques here, they view their 
       lives as works in progress, become powerful narrators, and
       understand big picture storylines in ways that allow them 
       to easily develop their own character, shape their actions
       and relationships, and create fulfilling "happy endings.""
