More About the Author
Product Description
Book Description
Award-winning clinical psychologist's step-by-step guide to transforming your life.
Product Description
This is an unusually wise and well-written self-help book that easily satisfies most readers' requirement of offering practical help. It is devoid of a "method", but aims to share what help psychological counselling, cognitive and behaviour therapy can offer the depressed, sad, bereaved or confused individual. Cecilia d'Felice has addressed herself to the variety of readers who may seek her out who may fall into two broad categories - those who are suffering and those who love someone who is suffering. Dare To Be You has a rare transparency and honesty. Dr d'Felice is no stranger to illness and medical indifference and misdiagnosis. She tells her own story bravely and without any self-pity, although medical neglect has nearly killed her more than once and has disabled her. Consequently, there is no false optimism in this book. Dr d'Felice has something different to offer, something like a radiant faith in the way individuals who lack a sense of self-worth can redeem themselves and eventually love themselves. Her message is that life can be seized and is meant to be seized, despite affliction, and in this way lies the salvation of the world in our basic kindness and understanding towards ourselves and all others in our lives. Her advice is practical, and within several of the eight chapters are suggestions for journal writing, mindfulness and breathing exercises. Dr d'Felice is one of the rare individuals who has a deep sense of compassion, ignited by circumstances that might have made her bitter instead. Her book has the voice of a wise and loving friend, and offers companionship in the way that the best and most favourite books do

This is a wonderful little book, easy to read with practical advice and simple exercises that really can start to create a new you and change your life.

Inspirational and moving.,

This review is from: Dare To Be You: Eight Steps To Transforming Your Life (Hardcover)
I thought this was wonderful read. An inspirational guide to learning how to make the most of our fragile existence and how to manage the bad experiences which we sometimes allow to influence the way we live our lives. The author combines her own traumatic experiences with her study and practice of a range of psychological therapies and philosophical influences. The narrative is well balanced and non-judgemental (she has suffered terribly at the hands of some in the medical profession but acknowledges that she has also been saved by the skills of others). There are easy to follow exercises that enable the reader to manage the transformation of their life through the surprisingly simple process of being compassionate and understanding with themselves. Get it for yourself AND give it to a friend.

This review is from: Dare To Be You: Eight Steps To Transforming Your Life (Hardcover)
This looks like another cheesy self-help book but it is beautifully written, inspiring, and mercifully NOT American! Highly recommended.
