It really does help!, 17 Feb 2004

By A Customer

I have read other self-help books before but none like this. It really has helped me! It has helped me to understand why I behave in certain ways and gives practical, realistic advice about how I can change. Don't get me wrong, it doesn't provide miraculous solutions to all my difficulties, but it has certainly given me hope for the future. Easy to read as well - I picked the chapters that were most relevant to me and read those first. I hope that other people benefit from this book too - thanks to the authors.

one of the best self help books, 25 April 2001

By A Customer

This is an important book to deal with common self defeating patterns in life.It takes a compassionate view of personality dysfunctions andcreates the hope that things can be changed.It does not offer easy answers and it is obvious that one has to work hard to effect changes.To the motivated it gives a key to work on their problems.It is good value for money and I will strongly recommend it.The self questionnaires are thankfully short but comprehensive.The lay out could be improved for easy readability:there are too many fonts and tables distracting the flow of main text.

Absolutely worth it!, 16 Feb 2007

By	Lakios (Hertfordshire, England) - See all my reviews

I was quite sceptical when I was first told to read this book because I have read other books on cognitive therapy and I had been bitterly disappointed but this book changed things for me. I also found that how I felt was completely normal at the time because I still get the same reaction from others to whom I recommend this book. All one has to do is to be really open to change and the suggestions and advice in this book can definitely change one's life for the better. It is not easy to leave old habits behind and to learn new ones and I often wondered, whilst reading it, if I could be bothered with this life long task. Because remember, it IS a life long task. It is a journey that you have to embark on to change years and years of ingrained thinking patterns which is ever so hard to, first, get your head around and then secondly, to actually action. But please try it and do not despair because with the help of this wonderful book everyone can obtain the ability to break free from life traps that prevent us from living a psychologically better life, becoming more self-aware and altogther calmer and more in control. I really suggest that you take the chance! You will thank me for it later...

Very disappointed and no use to me at all
This book presumes that any `negative life patterns' you are currently experiencing have always been there and are the result of negative or abusive elements from your childhood... Read more
