Abstract

Families and How to Survive Them, Skynner and Cleese, Methuen, London, was released to worldwide acclaim in 1983 and instantly became a best seller. Life and How to Survive it is the second part of the project the authors began in 1980. They "wanted to make available to the general public, in a way that was easy to absorb, those aspects of psychological knowledge we had found most helpful ourselves, towards making life more understandable, meaningful and enjoyable".
