Summary

Society insists that the best way to resolve conflicts is to seek justice, but after fifteen years of practicing law, Kimmel reveals why seeking justice is a dangerous addiction that leaves you feeling worse but wanting more.

Whether you?ve been injured emotionally, physically, or financially, this book gives you access to an always-open court where your grievances are adjudicated and your happiness is restored instantly.
