Overview    

Problems are a natural everyday occurrence of life.  To suffer less from the tensions and frustrations they cause, we must learn how to deal with them in a wise, logical fashion.

If we accept the fact that problems will arise on a regular basis, for a variety of reasons and from a variety of sources, we can:

• learn to approach problems from a balanced point of view,
• learn how to anticipate problems before they develop, and
• prevent some of them from becoming larger problems.
