Purchased for someone. I was disappointed that the authors book, "What to Say When you Talk to Yourself is no longer easily available. It is a GREAT book when someone is struggling with depression or attempting to stop doing old self-defeating habits.

After the 2020 year of negativity wore me thin, I had anxiety, and angry all the time, felt under appreciated, and overwhelmed that I was sick of feeling this way by November. I wanted to stop thinking so negatively and wanted to think more positive. Keyword is the desire or want to stop thinking negative. This is the only way I believe it works. You have to WANT to change your way of thinking. It won't happen overnight, it won't happen unless you want to change. It's a lot of work, and we all have our low days, so don't expect immediate results. With that being said, I bought a bunch of different positive thinking books. This is one of them. I have to say reading this book opened my eyes to the recognizing the negativity thrown around so much. I can't believe how much negative thoughts are around when you aren't even thinking about it. There are sections of this book that helped me understand why mother is the way she is - even going to multiple therapy sessions over many years, never taught me as much as this book has. It is well written that I couldn't put it down after I started it, finished in a day and 1/2 with a full time job. The best part is learning why I'm negative and how just hearing it in the back of your mind, can influence the negativity to the forefront. It explains the different stages of negativity and I can see why my mother would be as negative as she is, but she lacks the desire to change her thoughts. I'm one of those daughters that doesn't want to be like her mother, ends up being her mother anyway. This is one of those books that teaches you how to identify and how to change it. I bought a copy for my sister. I also gave one to my daughter. I don't want her to become like my negative self (that I'm working very hard to change). I also bought Emotional Blackmail by Susan Forward Phd, and it is pretty good read as well. I bought Positive Thinking by Amelia Torres - horrible read. Not for me. The book is 77 pages long and it has taken me over 4 months to get through it. I'm sure it works for some, but I'm not one of them. Maybe I will get through my other books, and come back to this one. I also bought the other book - What to say when you talk to yourself by Shad Helmstetter, PhD, which I haven't read yet. I'm trying to stay in one book at a time. As an added bonus in one of the reviews I read for one of these many positivity books I bought, to get a book, Let That Sh*t Go by Monica Sweeney, cute little journal to write in for when you are trying to find your happy place. She has 2 others that I also invested in, which I also recommend. I'm just trying to do my part to make 2021 better, by investing in myself. Couldn't we all use a little more positivity in our lives?

Really great book to read in 5-10 minutes bits or devour in an hour or two.

I really enjoyed this book easy to read and quickly read in a few hours.
