Friday's Laws are as follows:

1.	Life is difficult.
2.	Perception is reality.
3.	Change is the toughest thing a human being can do.
4.	You can never change another human being; you can only change yourself. Once you change, they change, but you cannot change them.
5.	I am responsible for everything I do and say. I am not responsible for your response.
6.	The future and the past are seldom as good or as bad as we anticipate or remember.
7.	Nobody has a squeaky-clean psyche.
8.	The only thing that lasts forever is...Now.

Based on work with thousands of patients in well over 50,000 hours in clinical settings, Friday's Laws examines how normal and not-so-normal people live side-by-side in an increasingly difficult world. Human beings are interested in other human beings. We watch how others live, what they feel and how they cope and survive as part of the individual and collective human condition. We, as human beings, observe what others do to "win" at living and emulate those "normal" behaviors that we feel are good and productive.

Friday's Laws examines these behaviors and gives readers eight laws, or guideposts, that create a strong framework to use in achieving normalcy. Insight into and understanding of the function and scuffles of various sections of the brain are the best tools you can have to interpret the actions of co-workers, spouses, family members and, most importantly, yourself.

The true battles in life are not between bosses and employees, or parents and children. Perpetual scrimmages occur in the gray matter between your ears. Friday's Laws allows readers to understand how to become normal when they're not and how to stay normal when they are. You may be surprised at how special "normal" actually is. It can allow you to win—in your career, in relationships and in life.
