First of all I don't really think it's a bad book. Considering that it doesn't really make people feel happy after working on it is quite normal and I guess there's nothing wrong with that. Nobody's expecting that a book will Suddently change your life an mood. But there's one thing I did realise. It made me feel worse. If you're sad. Of course you're only focusing on the negative things in life. But instead you are told to listen them up and then listing the positive ones up. Afterwards you'll
When I received this book I had no idea what it was. I hadn’t ordered any books recently and it appeared in my mail and am I glad it did! I spent some time thinking about this wonderful new magic of books randomly appearing on my doorstep, thanks Perigee, I then flipped through the book and knew this would be great. Perigee sent this to me in return for my honest opinion and I received no compensation for it.After figuring out where it came from, I spent a few more minutes having an internal cri...
So clever and engaging and concise and right on point! I plan to use it and to recommend it to all who will listen.To be truly useful, this workbook would be available online and interactive. It should not be a one-time-only book. The inability to make multiple entries limits its utility. A shame! Wish there were a journal or calendar with an exercise per day.
This book never claims that it will heal you. It doesn't say it will change your life. It doesn't. That's okay.But it does help you figure out how some of your thought processes might be harmful, proves to you how they are wrong and helps you work on yourself. There are a lot of exercises in this. Sometimes they are fun (like imagining what kind of animal you would be and stuff like that) and sometimes they don't really work. Like the one with the tv show schedule - you are only allowed to watch...
it's all about perspectives.
This book definitely brings out my creative side. I love busting out my 100 pack of gel pens and working on one page each day!
I haven't technically finished this book as it is something I turn to when I'm having a particularly low moment in my fight with depression. However I find that this book is wonderful in helping me discover the little things that keep me going. The title is right, it's not how to be happy. It's how to be less sad. Depression isn't something that goes away, you learn to cope with it and this is a great thing to cope with. The 10 fingers listing what you appreciate everyday but sometimes forget ab...
being a person who hate "self-help" books that is too preachy, giving and emphazing examples of the so called "successful people, that is, the writer. but this depends. some sharing their experiences in a humble way. i bought this book when another episode of depression, strucks me. i browse this book at a bookstore, and instantly having a thought "this book is written for people like me".The first day i got this book, i was still felt so miserable even to lift a pen to write anything, require s...
makes you pauze and think in a more positive way.I would have liked more background information or explanation but I get it's a workbook. A great book to reach for when you're feeling down and stuck in that mood.
a solidly CBT-based workbook. i recognized many activities from my therapy and positive psychology studies and my personal therapy sessions. nothing groundbreaking, but probably great to pair with talk therapy or do before or after seeking therapy.
Книга игра, за разтоварване, отпускане и осъзнаване. Препоръчвам за всеки, който иска да открие себе си, без да чете клишета.
Penguin Random House contacted me to see if I'd like to review this book for my blog. The subject sounded like a good match for my readers, but when it arrived I was pleasantly surprised to see it was a workbook. What a perfect idea. Being told how to think better can be helpful, but being shown how to do it is infinitely better. This workbook encourages positive thinking and constructive visualizing, and the various exercises train the reader to cast aside negativity. The author shows that tryi...
This book is a wonderful tool for this with depression to help identify what triggers them to feel down, as well as set activities and mind sets to help pull oneself back out. It contains pages of prompts and thought evoking answers for the reader to answer. For example, one page says "List things you do every day that give you no pleasure. Cross out anything non-essential." The next exercise "List thugs that's you do every day that give you pleasure. Circle anything on-essential." When I went t...
Great little book with writing prompts to aid with the recovery from depression. I enjoyed the majority of this book and replicated many of the pages in my own journal. I do think that the CBT thought distortion section is a little offensive to INFJ personality types, such as myself, but the author is not a psychologist and states that fact outright. Overall, I would recommend this book to anyone looking to reflect on their own feelings and thoughts, not just to someone coping with depression.
