Perfect for individuals or professionals

While reading this book it was clear that the authors are not only experts in their field, but they are passionate about their work. Their individual expertise combines to form a wonderfully warm and thoughtful book. Unlike so many books in the health and mental health genres, this book is easy to understand and the exercises can be used by anyone looking to fulfill their potential by eliminating self-defeating behaviors. How refreshing to try new and creative activities to improve our overall wellness.

Simple yet powerful

this is truly one of the best books available for implementing behavior change. the self-defeating behavior exercise forces you to look at what you're doing regardless of how ready you are for change. if you are motivated already, it can help propel you forward. it's amazing how something so simple in theory can be one of the most confrontational and powerfully motivational tools for healing. people often just don't get it until you spell it out for them in black and white. this book is the shortest distance between two points. the self-defeating behavior exercise makes you look at negative patterns and self-perpetuating cycles brought on by just one core issue. the visual aspect of this exercise makes it really stick in memory as a reminder of the results of a certain behavior. this, then, can force you to give pause long enough to implement a more adaptive skill or coping mechanism.

I've been a mental health professional for nearly 40 years, and have practiced some of my own self-defeating behaviors over the years. Drs.
