How to Get the Piranhas Out of Your Head follows the life cycle of the Brain Piranha from an infancy nourished on our expectations, our Absolutes, and the drama in our lives. It describes the endless cycles we navigate, pursued by piranhas, as we try to cope (or avoid coping) with life. It ends with ten practical suggestions for coping effectively, finding peace, and keeping the piranhas at bay.

With its silly illustrations and tongue-in-cheek humor, Piranhas takes an entertaining, non-threatening, but never simplistic look at some very serious and sometimes painful aspects of being human and the strengths and resources we can use to make more courageous and constructive choices.
