The Solomon Syndrome helps us understand the futile ways, in which men and women seek to have a happy life pursuing the culture's ideas of how to be successful. The first part of the book serves as a tool to assess how one seeks to have their needs met-often in ways that never work. Solomon becomes a model of how all the pathways the contemporary world encourages us to pursue only get us onto the "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" and leave us with a sense of meaninglessness. It then lays out a paradigm of how God designed a network of relationships to meet one's deepest needs and make life meaningful and happy.
The second part of The Solomon Syndrome takes each of the relationships discussed within and provides a tool for adjustment and enhancement of each area. Rather than being a book about marriage, or family, or serving, or a relationship with God, it shows how all relationships are designed to work together to create the life God intended for people to live.
