Bedtime Stories for Grown-Ups
Again and again, I would like to recommend the new book, Bedtime Stories for Grown-Ups: Fairy-Tale Psychology written by Sue Gallehugh Ph.D., Allen Gallehugh M.B.A and translated by Wilawan.
Many famous fairy-tales for children are adapted for adults such as the three little pigs, snow white and the seven dwarfs, sleeping beauty, and the emperor's new clothes. The purpose of this book is to help the readers improve themselves by using the idea from each fairy-tale.
For example, Wake up and Smell the Coffee: Sleeping Beauty is about the purposes in life. Sleeping princess should learn her mistakes and failure as the valuable lessons, which will lead her to future success.
In the end of each fairy-tale, the caution will be added in the end of each fairy-tale. The writer wants the readers to remember and practice as the cautions.
It's time to go bed so I myself have to read bedtime stories. May this night I can find my purposes of life as Sleeping Princess did.
Good Night!!!!
