Synopsis In HOW DID I GET HERE?, relationship expert and self-help author Barbara De Angelis marshals her years of experience and insight, providing guidance for the times when we feel stuck, lost, disappointed, turned off from life, or alienated from ourselves--and scared. De Angelis helps us through by offering support, encouragement, and practical advice. Using down-to-earth anecdotes, fables, and stories--about her school days, about gardening, about her dreams--she lets us see that even with her success and fame, she, too, hits walls. Her way of looking at "moments," "crossroads," "transitions," and "wake-up calls" helps make the mundane aspects of everyday life look almost noble and orderly. As she talks about "getting lost on the way to happiness" or "playing hide and seek with the truth," her seemingly simple, accessible formulations belie their wisdom. Behind it all, she gives us the sense that there is a power to life even when we think we are stuck. De Angelis's message is all about taking action, as she shares ways of "navigating through the life we want." In her advice on moving from confusion to clarity, mourning the loss of the life we thought we wanted, and finding passion again, she offers a rich and bountiful therapy. And when we look back, it may seem that a plan was there all along. Transformation is the ultimate lesson of Barbara De Angelis's many books, including HOW DID I GET HERE?

First Line: "All of us find ourselves, at one time or another in our lives, facing the unexpected. We arrive at places we never planned to be, confronting obstacles we did not expect to encounter, feeling emotions we did not expect to feel."
