If you believe that dieting down to your “ideal” weight will prolong your life; that reliving childhood trauma can undo adult personality problems; that alcoholics have addictive personalities, or that psychoanalysis helps cure anxiety, then get ready for a shock. In the climate of self-improvement that has reigned for the last twenty years, misinformation about treatments for everything from alcohol abuse to sexual dysfunction has flourished. Those of us trying to change these conditions are often frustrated by failure, mixed success, or success followed by a relapse. But have you ever asked yourself: can my condition really be changed? And if so, am I going about it in the most effective way? Grounding his conclusions in the most recent and most authoritative scientific studies, Seligman pinpoints the techniques and therapies that work best for each condition, explains why they work, and discusses how you can use them to change your life. Inside, you'll discover: the four natural healing factors for recovering from alcoholism; the vital difference between overeating and being overweight, and why dieters always gain back the pounds they “lost”; the four therapies that work for depression, and how you can “dispute” your way to optimistic thinking; the pros and cons of anger, and the steps to take to understand it and much more!

    It’s a good book if you are suffer from anxiety and depression. I won’t say it’s funny to read or exciting, but there were some thoughts and points worth remembering.

Цитаты

    Transsexuals have had their “wrong sex” belief for as long as they can remember. And they are doomed to have it for the rest of their lives. Every kind of psychotherapy has been tried on transsexuals. So rare is any success that the single clear case in the archives of successful change calibrates just how intractable this problem is.2

    The second hallmark of anxiety out of control is paralysis. Anxiety intends action: Plan, rehearse, look into shadows for lurking dangers, change your life. When anxiety becomes strong, it is unproductive; no problem-solving occurs. And when anxiety is extreme, it paralyzes you.

    Anxiety warns us that danger lurks. It fuels planning and replanning, searching for alternative ways out, rehearsing action.
    Depression marks the loss of something very dear to us. Depression urges us to divest, “decathect,” fall out of love, mourn, and ultimately resign ourselves to its absence.
    Anger, highly opinionated, warns that something evil is trespassing against us. It tells us to get rid of the object, to strike out against it.
