The Umbrella by David Diehl is a practical book that offers a complete process for gaining perspective on life's challenges and moving on with certainty. Diehl's process helps readers think critically about their life situations and establish their beliefs and values based on who they really are. Using the umbrella metaphor, Diehl provides tools to protect ourselves from life's challenging situations, just as we can protect ourselves from bad weather. The book not only teaches all the concepts you need for personal growth and development but also provides close to 100 pages to journal about your own life situations.
