Synopsis

An action plan for a better life, Healthy Selfishness helps readers recognize and understand patterns of self-denial; a self-assessment quiz answers the question, "Are you too good for your own good?"

Chapters look at the value of healthy selfishness in specific areas—friends, family, work, weight, money, and more—to help readers identify how to take charge of their lives.

The Hellers offer choices for making comfortable changes: Small steps, longer strides, and life-changing leaps.

Healthy Selfishness is ultimately about life in proper balance, which makes this a book with something to offer for everyone.
