Beyond Success and Failure: Ways to Self-Reliance and Maturity

In BEYOND SUCCESS & FAILURE the Beechers do not offer any panaceas nor do they provide you with elaborate programs & disciplines. But they do help you to find your own direction & your own abilities to handle any & all confronting problems. They show how you can find your own center of gravity inside yourself & begin to know the satisfaction that flows from using your own talents & living as a responsible adult. Their book is dedicated to Dr. Alfred Adler founder of Individual Psychology who was their teacher the last years of his life during which time he gave them their first understanding of human behavior. The Beechers state that there are eight concepts which rule the lives of all adults. They encourage each to use to the awakening touch of self-reliance to shape its parts & aspects. Only those who are self-reliant emotionally & physically can function as adult human beings able to cooperate with other adults because life demands that we be useful & productive or as Adler said to "be a help & not a burden."
