Rated 5 starsGreat for some, not for others.
It's clear from reading the wide variety of reviews of this book that the concepts presented work really well for some people, and a whole lot less well for others.

Taming your Gremlin is a great book because it helps us to confront our own demons and overcome them. This book will help people who have self-destructive patterns of behavior. I suggest you read another book, Optimal Thinking: How to Be your Best Self which shows you how to make the best choices in every situation. There is also a chapter that shows you how to identify the core beliefs that stop you from being your best...

Rated 5 starsthe tricky devils of the human mind unveiled!
This is the best book on the behaviour of the human mind I have ever read.

Rated 5 starsMy college students use this book to learn to be happier.
I have used Carson's book for seven years in my college social psychology course entitled Self and Others. I have been amazed at how many students use the ideas in the book to make real changes in how they think and feel about themselves,and how they interact with others. I laugh, cry and cheer when I read many of their papers. Thank you Richard Carson.
