Book excerpt: Dorothy Rowe writes on the subjects of depression and the problems of life. Her central message is that children are easily given the misleading notion that things go wrong in an otherwise just world because they have been bad - too naughty, too noisy, too egotistical, too disobedient. If this notion is abandoned and replaced by acceptance that much that happens is by chance or because of a particular social, cultural or historical moment that is being lived through, lives could be got on with and happiness achieved. She aims to reconstruct our mistaken idea of reality and to see ourselves for what we are, to see life for what it is, and to see that we can choose to take responsibility and to take charge of whether or not our lives are happy.
