The Way To Tell A Really Big

The Bottom Line: If You Want A Happier Family, Create, Refine And Retell The Story Of Your Family's Positive Moments And Your Ability To Bounce Back From The Difficult Ones. That Act Alone May Increase The Odds That Your Family Will Thrive For Many Generations To Come.

My Name Is Bruce Feiler, And I'm An Explainaholic. I First Heard This Word Used To Describe Isaac Asimov, And I Knew Instantly That I Suffered From The Same Condition. It's The Incurable Desire To Tell, Shape, Share, Occasionally Exaggerate, Often Elongate, And Inevitably Bungle A Good Story.

When You Hit The Unimaginable, The Only Answer Is Imaginativeness. You Have To Heal With The Person That You're Suffering With. You Have To Write A New Chapter In Your Story.

But Working It Through And Being Resilient Is As Sacred And Meaningful As Having A "hollywood" Romance.

The Bottom Line: If You Want A Happier Family, Bring Those Skeletons Out Of The Closet.
