Road to recovery

The book is very informative and easy to read. Dr. Carter-Scott has presented different ways which we can use to manage ourselves and also made suggestions on how to reach out to others for support. A very enlightening piece of reading, I might say.

Life Doesn't Have to Be So Hard

Negaholics is the answer for those focusing too much on the problems in life. It includes strategies for individuals who are too critical of themselves. We all have times when we feel like this, even if it's not our natural pattern. It's good to have a book like this to find ways to pull yourself out of a slump before it becomes habitual or affects your relationships or job. I also recommend "You Can Be Happy No Matter What" by Richard Carlson.

Excellent Book

Negaholics - How to Overcome Negativity and Turn Your Life Around is an excellent book. This may be an opinion which is closely linked to the fact that I'm a woman and Negaholics is written in a very "touchy-feely" style by a woman. The idea is that bad experiences and/or toxic relationships in your childhood deeply affects the way you view yourself and all your relationships. Negaholics does not focus on childhood specifics, but gives some really positive techniques to try to turn your negativism around and build up your self-esteem.

Negaholics

Great, pithy book that puts negativity in perspective. Great gift for that downer person who bugs you and others. Best to send anonymously.

Excellent, workable help to overcome one's negativism.

Cherie Carter-Scott delivers a readable, workable solution to overcoming the negaholic within. The examples are realistic and helpful in determining one's own dilemmas or help someone else with their's. I highly recommend this book to anyone who struggles with negative thoughts, has a gloomy perspective on life, or lives with someone who has. Following her guidance can be amazingly and cheerfully life-changing.
