In M Scott Pecks book “The Road Less Traveled “ he points out that the cause of most mental illness is avoidance of problems

The fact of the matter is problems just don’t go away ……

they just get bigger and bigger.

Often times they even reach the point where problems can affect one’s mental and physical health

Its difficult to argue that many people who unhappy are so because they avoid their problems.

Once one actually admits they have a problem—- which is the first step to many self improvement programs like the 12 step program etc

One has to actually quantify and figure exactly what the problem is so they can come up with the right solution.

In fact Albert Einstein was supposedly to have said “ "If I had one hour to save the world, I would spend fifty-five minutes defining the problem, and only five minutes finding the solution."

One person who focused on helping people and businesses first quantify their problems then solve them and move forward strategically is Darren de Vink.
