“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different result.”
- Einstein

Ofcourse you all know this quote. But ever wondered doing things differently means exactly what? How to put to practice what we understand from this quote? “Do One Thing Different” by Bill O’Hanlon is about that. It shows multiple ways to creatively find solutions to life’s persistent problems. Solutions which are uncommonly sensible and hence rare.

I am currently reading this book and enjoying it. Here is the basic introduction to it:

“Think of a problem in your life. Now solve it. That’s not as crazy as it sounds, once to you try the bold and humorous new approach in this book by one of the developers of brief solution-oriented therapy. Simply “changing the viewing” or “changing the doing” of the problems using ten “solution keys” will put you back in control of your emotions and your life - even enabling you to single handedly change your relationships.Using simple, direct and effective steps in Do One Thing Different can quickly move you from “stuck” to “smooth sailing.” This book will also reveal how to use these techniques to strengthen relationships, enhance sexuality, resolve unfinished business, and prevent future problems.The next time you encounter troubles, stop “Analysis Paralysis” and Do One Thing Different. It’s fast. It’s easy. It works.”

More articles on what I learnt from this will follow.
