The follow-on of the authors' "Families and How to Survive Them", this book develops the ideas put forward in the earlier book. Beginning by looking at exceptionally healthy families and their comparison with ordinary and disordered families, they examine organizations outside families - businesses, schools, hospitals. Are some healthier than others? Is the American way better than the Japanese? How can individuality be retained while co-operating in joint endeavours? The book also looks at value systems and religions; and at change, looking along the way at humour in relation to health, at competition and sportmanship, at death - the prototype of all change.
