Plot

Citing the mythical Baron von Munchhausen's method of rescuing himself and his horse from drowning by hoisting himself up by his pigtail, Watzlawick uses this collection of essays and lectures to ultimately ask: does our choosing to see the world in a particular way blind us to viewing it in another way that might help resolve our seemingly untenable situations?
