Stress, anxiety, and depression are more common than ever before. When the 21st-century dream is to have it all - high-powered jobs, happy families, exotic holidays, a beautiful body, and the ideal home - many minds simply cannot cope if we fail to match up. Explaining why this cycle is so hard to break and exactly what you can do about it, Rick Norris presents advice that you know you should take: accept yourself for who you are, prioritise what really matters, reject notions of perfection, plan for a happier future; and the 6 easy steps that make it all possible.

I used this book during the Spring 2011 to help me re-establish my confidence and build up my feelings of self worth. What is really good about this book is that if you ever feel yourself slipping or just need to re sharpen the skills it teaches, it's there in print ready for you again. I am now pleased to say that i am able to function in society again doing things that had become very difficult.

Solid and readable book

I sat down this evening with this book and can say, it makes sense and is easy to read for the lay person, and I was able to read through it basically in one reading. I also liked the way that the author, a clinical psychologist, was able to put it not into the soft and fuzzy world of mere cognitions, but to show how the brain works like hardware, and how, when we are having bad moods and feelings and feeling pessimistic, mostly what we are doing is loading negative "DVDs" (internal memories from before) into our conscious mind, through the "RAS", or reticular activation system. This all sounds like good neuroscience to me, not some New Age stuff. The author then goes on to show us how this happens to all of us, and depression and weakness do not mean that we are "weak", but rather, that we are loading in the wrong "DVDs". Works for me. He then shows us that using cognitive behavioral therapy, we can much better control the "DVDs" that go through the RAS filter, and thus control our own feelings and moods. This all makes sense in the context of modern psychology, with journalling, "well-formed outcomes", and lists of positive images, which he suggests we collect to use. A good book and sure to help many.
