About the book
Jay Haley's collection of essays includes a title piece that reads the life of Jesus as the work of a man building a mass movement to overturn a power structure. The other essays turn wry humor on schizophrenia, awful marriages and awful therapists, and set out his case for directive therapy.
Ryan Holiday called the title essay peerless and also praised the essays on Haley's unusual approach to psychotherapy, putting it on a list of 24 lesser known books.

The title essay in this book is peerless and amazing. The rest of the essays, which talk about Haley’s unusual approach to psychotherapy are also quite good. If you’ve gone to therapy, are thinking about going to therapy, or know someone going to therapy, this book is a must-read.
