Manage Your Mind: The Mental Fitness Guide (Out Of Print. New Ed Due Feb 07)

Description

Self-help and personal betterment tomes are often so earnest and so zealous to help everybody have a perfect life that they are off-putting to readers who merely want some advice. Butler and Hope's low-key compendium of mental self-help is refreshingly free of such obsessiveness. Bright, readable, and insightful, it offers modest goals that are bracingly achievable by means of "skills, understanding, and strategies to suit your circumstances and inclinations." Drawing on their clinical experience, they dissect and illuminate specific complaints and offer simple advice.

Gillian Butler and Tony Hope argue that for real psychological well being, you must combine two approaches--integrating techniques of management with those of psychology, mixing feeling with action and work with play. In Manage Your Mind, they show you how, in a ground-breaking, step-by-step guide to the skills and attitudes that will help you become more effective in your work while you enjoy a more fulfilling personal life.
