FISH! Motivational Book?

I read this book last week. FISH! Philosophy. Our HR department is running the program to help raise morale at the office. Well, after the first chapter I was ready to jump off a bridge. The subject of the book and her husband quit their jobs and moved with their two young children to start a new life in another city. This couple is described as total best friends, into and about each other. Then one day the husband gets sick, dies, and leaves her alone to raise the kids and pay off huge medical bills. All in the first chapter!

I went to the SPCA and watched them put puppies down, just to cheer up.
