Unlocking Your Rubber Room

In Unlocking Your Rubber Room, lawyer-turned-teacher Perry Binder offers 44 lessons which emphasize that preparation, passion, and compassion are the keys to unlocking our confining mindsets -- our figurative ''rubber rooms.'' Perry's hilarious and original stories, like ''Figure out if you are a 'Touch Wet Paint' Person,'' are distilled from years of painstaking trials and errors. This book contains novel law tips, including how to get a lawyer to return your call, or which three items you must possess when dining out. And its provocative anecdotes -- when to start a street fight and when to lay low in the weeds, for example -- motivate you to laugh, think, and act through everyday situations. Knowing how to work the legal system opens doors to solving your personal and professional dilemmas. Ultimately, Unlocking Your Rubber Room inspires you to be adventurous, take risks, and learn new things about yourself just as the author confesses he discovered when writing this book.
