Assigning big siblings and peer advisors based on House affiliation would also create an incentive for freshmen to “buy-in” to their residential communities from the outset. The knowledge that one’s entryway-mates will be one’s neighbors and (with any luck) friends for the rest of one’s time at Harvard would create a strong incentive for freshmen to participate in their residential communities, and to make an effort...

But the book, which has helped thrust Hayes into a bitter debate in psychology, takes two highly unusual turns for a self-help manual: it says at the outset that its advice cannot cure the reader's pain (the first sentence is "People suffer"), and it advises sufferers not to fight negative feelings but to accept them as part of life.
