elimianting your sdb's excellent

During the past year I have read and worked through the ezercises in this book and have eliminated from my life a behavior that has troubled me for 47 years. I want all to know that this is not just a book but it is an experience in taking charge of your life. If you are saddened by the constant destruction of your self esteem by your lack of ability to control yourself and your behavior please give this book a chance to help you.

A classic in self-help works

I have used this book, as a psychologist, for several years in its first edition and now in the later revision, as an adjunct to the therapy I provide for clients. I think it is excellent at helping people take more responsibility for their own behavior -- and as a result enjoy their lives more, realizing they really do have a choice about what they experience. In a step by step fashion, it takes the reader through a self improvement journey that is realistic, straightforward, and effective in building self understanding. Chamberlain's guidance is in the "cognitive-behavioral" tradition, and is very effective in engendering real progress. This book can be read on its own or used as an adjunct to psychotherapy. I highly recommend it.
