Product Description

This self help book is designed to be something that will be a useful part of your life not just a few hours read. I wanted to create something that covered many of life's difficulties so that over the years you always have a reference manual with ruffled edges from continued use. This book covers self help topics from depression, anxiety, PTSD, phobias, OCD and pain management, to addictions and sleep difficulties. Unlike many other books I don't want to portray that I am the cause of your positive change. My aim is to be a guide that gives you ideas to help you take control in your life for your own change work.

good as far as it goes... 1 Dec 2011

By tiggrie AKA Sarah TOP 1000 REVIEWER

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

... but it does not go that deep. Some useful advice and techniques that could benefit anyone who is trying to help themselves along the road to mental health. However it is far from comprehensive and don't expect in depth help for those suffering from the extremes of clinical depression or anxiety. By no means a substitute for expert help treatment and counselling, which is to be expected, but at times I felt it was skating along the top of serious issues.

On an unrelated note, the author could use editorial help. At times the writing was very clunky.

Overall, a reasonable freebie but I would have been disappointed to have paid for it.

A great introductory read 28 April 2012

By paindriven

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

Despite the lack of proof-reading (which really was no problem for me at all) I found reading this book to be a thoroughly enriching experience. I didn't see a great deal of merit in some of the proposals but some of them have worked very well for me and I will often think back to this back as something that began my journey of self discovery and improvement. The fact that this is free makes this book a very easy acquisition for those that feel that they are suffering needlessly in certain areas of their lives due to feelings of anxiety or being out of control with your life.

Can a free book be overpriced? 13 Dec 2011

By Mr. Jw Hodgson

Format:Kindle Edition

I have spent 30 years as a personal development consultant working with thousands of people around the world. I stumbled across this ebook which just happens to have the same title as an early audio programme of mine. Don't have a problem with that. I was intrigued and downloaded it to my Kindle.

I was frankly appalled at the poor writing and questionable advice. Some sentences didn't make any sense. Did anybody proof read it before it went 'live'?

Free? Yes.
Overpriced? Yes.

My time is too valuable to waste and I wasted too much of it today. I never made it to the end. Just couldn't take any more.

One of the best ways to relax is to do 7-11 breathing which is where you breathe in deeply to the count of 7 then out to the count of 11. By doing this with the out breath longer than the in breath you trigger the relaxation response. Just 3 or 4 deep 7-11 breaths will help to relax you and focus your mind. &quote;

If someone has a craving they should use the craving as a sign they should stop and take a break. Then go and sit quietly somewhere. Have a drink of water or juice and relax for about 15 minutes. Some effective ways to relax are to just close your eyes and focus on your breathing, breathing in counting to 7 and out counting to 11, or listening to a brief relaxation track. &quote;

To help yourself to overcome a period of depression ensure your basic needs are being met and get your focus of attention off of worrying and ruminating and onto problem solving and relaxing the mind. When you do this you increase the chances of the depression lifting quickly. &quote;
