The book strives to use that all-comfortable, all-inclusive, all-relatable dessert, ice cream, as the non-threatening medium to share insight to life when it comes to friendships, hardships and overcoming obstacles.</div><br /><em>The Ice Cream Theory</em> is Steff Deschenes’s charming exploration of the parallels between human personalities and ice-cream flavors, a tongue-in-cheek celebration of the variety inherent in a well-lived life. This book utilizes humor and satire to encourage the reader to enjoy life, the people around it, and that nothing is by accident—everything happens for a reason.<br /><br /><br /><b>Praise for "The Ice Cream Theory"</b><br />"Charming and humorous, <i>The Ice Cream Theory</i> is an intriguing and highly recommended read that shouldn't be missed."<br />- <a href="http://www.midwestbookreview.com/rbw/sep_10.htm" target="_blank">The Midwest Book Review</a><br /><br />". . .Unlike most self-help books, this one is full of down-to-earth thoughts and hits you when you least expect it. . . .
