Duke Robinson

Grand Central Publishing, 2000

What an amazing book
I had to find a way to say "no" to someone, and a friend lent me her copy. I am forever indebted to her because it happened after I finished reading this marvelous book. The information in it has enabled me to stop talking in counterproductive ways and doing several things I always did because I wanted to be nice...and to be seen as nice. It was so engrossing I purchased 10 copies for myself, ...

Grand Central Publishing, 1992

This book opened my eyes
I was at a point where it was like I was swiming upstream at work. Too many things were just so much more difficult than they needed to be. I picked this book up because the title jumped out at me. This is the best work environment self-assessment book I have ever seen. It's the only one I've found that helps to identify why some jobs, or work environments are just not a good fit and ...

Louise Hay

Hay House, 2005

A wonderful and positive message!
Louise Hay is so positive and has such an insightful way of making you look at your negative "tapes" and change them into positive ones to enrich and enhance your life. I also love her humor, it makes perfect sense in the way she uses it! I like the tapes so I can listen to them over and over and really understand her message. She is a very intelligent and "tuned in" person to what we need to ...

Jeffrey E. Young, Janet S. Klosko

Plume, 1994

Very difficult to find a book about schemas
I was recommended to buy this book as it deals with specifics that you can relate to. I'm in Australia and it is very hard to find any book about schemas. Sometimes you can get into the whole CBT thing but it's difficult to understand. I found this book to be quite easy to read and i have learnt alot about myself from reading it. Definatlely the book to read if you are familiar with CBT ...

Instant Analysis

David J. Lieberman

St. Martin's Griffin, 1998

The "Analysis" part is Very, Very Good
Very happy with this book. Quick to the point; "If you behave in this way, then most likely it's because of this..." It's not written in stone , but it's likely, something to consider. The "solutions" however are a bit ridiculous. I wanted the book for the Analysis part anyway, so I was very pleased. As far as "fixing" something though, good luck. Having said that however, simply ...

Charlotte Gerson, Beata Bishop

Totality Books, 2007

The Gerson Miracle
This is the most comprehensible book on Gerson Therapy to date. Well worth a read for anyone suffering from degenerative diseases. Even better if they are willing to look the medical establishment in the eye and say, "No Thanks, I'd rather do it myself" A very powerful healing method that relies upon food, not prescriptions, and truly cures, as opposed to treating the symptoms. Diabetes, ...

Anne Katherine

Hazelden, 2004

Groundbreaking Work on an Often Overlooked Problem
Whether they like it or not, admit it or not, a large number of people are "addicted to misery." Misery addiction is an insidious form of self-sabotage that manifests in a large number of very different, but very "general" ways. For instance, we may habitually make choices that set us up to fail, or we may abandon projects right before they succeed. Maybe we choose abusive partners and friends; ...

Stands out in a field of its own
Among many books dealing with addictions, "Secret Keeing" is a notch above. It provides concerte and practical advice in a very straight-forward manner. It is compassionate and yet not bashful all about confronting these all-too-common human prediciments. The messages are helpful and realistic. As a graduate school professor, I have read and written many self-help books. This one stands out in a ...

Taming Your Inner Brat: A Guide For Transforming Self-Defeating Behavior

Pauline, Ph.D. Wallin

Wildcat Canyon Press, 2004

Fun reading, sensible advice
My own personal inner brat didn't like this book at first. "Baby Sally" didn't like being told that she might not be entitled to whatever she wants whenever she wants it. But the book makes a whole lot of sense. The first thing it suggests is to listen to your inner brat and take those needs into consideration. Then it shows how to make an adult decision, based on reality. I find its sensible ...

Look at yourself (male AND female), and you'll gain immensely from this book
Men, read this book. Women, read this book. It doesn't matter what sex you are; insert the words "human being" anywhere when giving this book a shot, and you won't be discouraged; you'll become relieved, angry, enightened, and real. THEN you can start using this amazing work. I don't own a television, don't know Gail Saltz or MSNBC from Adam, but realize that people can't relate ...
