Unsatisfactory relationships, irrational lack of self-esteem, feeling of being unfulfilled - these are all the problems that can be solved by changing the types of messages that people internalize. These self-defeating behavior patterns are called "lifetraps", and Reinventing Your Life shows how to stop the cycle that keeps you from attaining happiness.
