Dr. Goodwin says what other "Dr's." say in ways that make the information accessible, useful and helpful. Every one of us has felt the pushing of our buttons and not been aware of it or known what to do about it. This book heightened my own awareness from "what? feelings? bah!" to "hey, this is cool stuff, I can actually know what I'm doing with all this emotional stuff running amuck inside me."
Hey, it'll make life easier and better. So where can you spend a few bucks and get such a deal?

The Button Therapy Book is an excellent `life enhancement manual'. I highly recommend it. Its foundations are based on the teachings of Budda, Jesus Christ and Ken Keyes Jr. The Button Therapy book also nicely wraps up the `best of the best' literature from prominent psychologists, philosophers, and modern day shamans.
The less `buttons' (i.e. negative cognitions and attachments) we posses, the happier we will be. This book is a GIANT step in that direction.
In its most simple terms, The Button Therapy Book shows us how to identify our `buttons' and how to remove them. This usually results in our greater ability to lead happier, healthier (i.e. less stressful) lives.

The Button Therapy Book has made an incredible difference in my attitude and my life. I am able to relax more and don't get as uptight or angry as I used to. I have always been a person who had my "buttons pushed" fairly easily and now I understand how to identify my buttons, address them in a calm and loving way and most importantly, get rid of them. I've also been able to take the information given in the book and pass it on to my children to help them overcome their "buttons." Dr. Goodwin gives the reader all the tools they need to live happier, healthier lives, starting immediately! I highly recommend this book, it is a must for any person who is interested in improving his/her quality of life and getting rid of those buttons!

I bought the book because of the positive reviews (written by friends of the author ?) but found the book very boring and repetitive. I stopped reading when the author quoted a former science fiction writer turned cult leader. The back of the camel finally broke !

A super way to learn how to deal with all the buttons and button pushers in your life. Learn to be a happier, healthier and hopefully a better person all around.

The Button Therapy Book provides techniques that will immediately lift your spirits and help you develop a positive outlook on life. Everyone has buttons and button pushers. Dr. Goodwin provides a framework to recognize the cognitions attached to buttons that produce negative results. Through cognitive interventions empowerment is accessible. A great "tool box" for those working in the mental health field as well as for anyone seeking personal growth. If you have the desire to dance to the music of the universe instead of dancing every time somebody pushes your buttons, buy it, read it, you deserve it!

I don't think that this book should be just limited to mental health professionals.
It's very interesting, caught my attention, and can be used as a motivator but more important it makes sense to me.
It should be used by those who are uncertain of where to go and what to do.

Before reading this book, I thought the best I could do when my emotional buttons were pushed, was to recognize and interrupt the reaction. I never expected that I could possibly eliminate the buttons entirely.
I plan to apply this wisdom to my own life and share the lessons with my patients.

Button Therapy, a 'MUST HAVE' for any mental health professional and/or the lay person. I have found many insights in this book and I have recommended it to just about everyone I know. I think that Dr. Goodwin has hit the 'button on the head', and has loosened it's thread with his insightful, caring explanation of our 'buttons' and how to deal with them. I find myself referring to it regularly in my business. Thanks Lloyd, I am happier, my clients are happier and we all understand ourselves and others better now that we have read your book. We will all be looking forward to your next work!

The Button Therapy Book is a creative synthesis of Eastern & Western models for personal and spiritual growth. An incredible compilation and synthesis of psychological self-help techniques. You would have to read 10 books to get the information and number of self-help techniques presented in this book. I've personally benefited from applying this practical six-step self-help model to some of my Buttons. The chapter titled "30 Seeds for Your Mind's Garden" is worth the price of this book alone. The "30 Seeds" are guidelines that have been helpful in my journey of personal and spiritual growth. Planting these "life-enhancing seeds" into the gardens of our minds enables us to become more conscious, aware, loving, and compassionate. This is simply the best psychological self-help book I've ever read. I've already recommended this book to my friends. An excellent read!
