VERY GOOD BOOK!,
This review is from: Slowing Down to the Speed of Life: How to Create a More Peaceful, Simpler Life from the Inside Out (Paperback)
I have read many of R. Carlson's books. This one is definately up there with the best. It is on par with Stop thinking, Start Living. And much more helpful that the Don't sweat the small stuff-series.I have started to apply this principles to my life and was amazed. I can only say that I wish I had read this 20y ago. It would have spared me so much anguish in my life!The book explains the different ways of thinking and when to use which! I realised that I have been using the wrong way of thinking for the wrong variables! It was as if a whole new world opened before me. So simple yet incredibly profound! I want to run out there and tell people about this information! As unxpected side effect,unrelated to the material in the book, I have started losing weight after reading this book (and Stop Thinking, Start Living-UK title). I realised that by slowing down my negative thinking, my constant craving for food has also disappeared! I was able to "slow down" the craving thoughts as well!!! The weight is just falling off! After years of eating to combat stress and emotional pain! Thank you Dr Carlson, Sir!

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great book with misleading title! Many uses.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Slowing Down to the Speed of Life: How to Create a More Peaceful, Simpler Life from the Inside Out (Hardcover)
An excellent book with very practical resources for taking charge of your own life. The title is a bit misleading in that the principles discussed can be applied to many problem areas, e.g., depression, anger, communication, relationships, not just stress or anxiety as the title implies. Another odd thing about the book is that the principles described are, for the most part, lifted straight out of Buddhist teachings, but the words Buddha or Buddhism are never mentioned, nor is much other specific information as to the "school" or "philosophy" of the book's ideas. So, if you'd like to learn about the psychology/philosophy of Buddhism without wading through the dogma, rituals, and other religious trappings, this book is a wonderful and practical place to start!

This book is a must-read for all!

This is a book you will be tempted to pass around to the people in your life you really care about!
