Author Description

Shakespeare: the ultimate self-help guru and life coach. Bard expert Laurie Maguire brings her knowledge and love of Shakespeare to bear on the great-and small-challenges that everybody faces. As she illustrates in this witty, accessible, and unique self-help book, all one really needs is Shakespeare when it comes to understanding life. Covering such universal subjects as love and hate, the battle of the sexes, family relationships, and loss and death, Maguire shows how the dilemmas illustrated in Shakespeare's plays can help readers explore their own emotions and judgments. Together, Maguire and Shakespeare offer suggestions, comfort, empathy, and encouragement as they set out a timeless principle for living. To read Shakespeare is to understand what it means to be human. To read Where There's a Will is to better understand how to cope.
