"You can''t love someone until you learn to love yourself".
"Being healthy means being in touch with your feelings". "Never
lose hope". These are self-evident truths - right? Wrong argues
best-selling psychologist Paul Pearsall in this provocative book.
Though everyone from talk show hosts to politicians mouths these
platitudes, and self-help bibles are a dime a dozen, their advice
simply hasn''t helped us live happier or more satisfying lives.
Pearsall cites scientific evidence to challenge what he calls the
McMorals of self potentialism: the unsubstantiated prescriptions,
programmes, guarantees and gurus that define our pursuit of The
Good Life. His message is timely: we''re fed up with truisms
masquerading as truth, and hungry for self-help that really helps.
Filled with groundbreaking research and inspiring stories from Dr
Pearsall''s clinical practice, "The Last Self-Help Book You''ll Ever
Need" offers a powerful antidote to the mindless mental languishing
that characterizes so much of modern life. The solution is not just
to "get in touch and suck it up". Instead, Pearsall offers powerful
in counter-intuitive strategies. By abandoning the mandate to "stay
hopeful", for example, we can begin to savour today rather than
focus desperately on tomorrow. By allowing ourselves the natural
process of grieving instead of relentlessly treating grief as a
disease, we can recover from tragedy. With Pearsall''s lively and
informative roadmap to psychological health, we can say "goodbye"
to our inner child and "hello" to a better life.
