Happy Camper: Letters to my brother

by Jim Stephenson

My brother has been writing to me for most of his adult life. In that time, he has faced on a daily basis, the fear that haunts many of us occasionally. Am I losing my mind? It is psychological truth that we will think whatever we need to think in order to have the world make sense. The challenge is in coordinating what we think with what is actually happening. This is what we call coping with reality. Over the course of the 33 years and thousands of letters to me, despite enduring often very difficult circumstances, my brother never blamed anyone else ... in fact, for the most part, he is nothing but positive. So many, in his situation, find abundant targets for blame. Nor does he fall victim to depression, for the most part. He seems to understand his life depends on his optimism. I produced this book in order to share Jim's courage, his humor, his insight and his overflowing faith in human nature.
