absolute best book i have ever read

This book is awesome, It mentions great ways to reframe our toxic way of thinking in an optimistic approach. I would love to teach this material in a class because it affects all of us 100%. The concepts and ideas are staggering and if we apply these principles to our daily lives we are going to live longer and more productive lives as well as reduce depression, hostility and divorce. If you can read, read this book, you will not be disappointed! If you are a therapist ot teacher it would be even more beneficial for you to spread this wonderful knowledge like wildfire. thanx :)

A thorough, user-friendly, practical book

I am a psychologist teaching part-time in a family practice residency. I have been using this book for several years to teach resident physicians ideas and skills to help their patients get better faster. The book does a good job of linking the fascinating world of mind-body medical research with practical ideas about how to change. In particular, the authors help everyone get off to a good start by normalizing the process of change and suggesting ways to avoid relapse. Another strength is the emphasis on a variety of methods to increase relaxation and picturing success, two time-tested skills. I recommend this book without reservation.
