«Life and How to Survive It» is the psychology and self-help essay by Robin Skynner and John Cleese, published by Random House UK in paperback (304 pages, in English).
The book arises from a dialogue between psychiatrist Robin Skynner and comedian John Cleese to explore why the world works as it does and how that affects each person. It acts as a map for everyday life: it analyzes how relationships form and why some thrive and others fail, and addresses cooperation, competitiveness, humor, health and the capacity to cope with change.
Companion work to «Familias y cómo sobrevivirlas», also signed by both authors. It includes concepts such as the three parts of the human psyche (id, ego and superego) and a reflection on consciousness and group life.
