Readers seeking ideas for improving their lives will find Coping with Life Challenges, 2/E highly accessible and empowering. Kleinke synthesizes a wealth of information that researchers have discovered about coping. First he introduces "coping" and defines important terms. Next is a discussion of specific challenges and the coping skills to deal with them. An additional two chapters are devoted to examining particular, personal experiences of people confronted with difficult issues, such as illness and injury. The final chapter discusses coping as a life philosophy that can lead to becoming a self-fulfilled, well-rounded person. Self-scoring assessment questionnaires throughout the book allow readers to assess their coping strengths and weaknesses. Learning to cope is not an inborn talent; it is a set of skills that can be developed--especially with the help of this book!

From the Inside Flap
"A good digest of the literature on coping with major challenges in life. It is thorough and well documented. . . . The book's accuracy is its strength. . . . Though this book is short, it has integrity because it is clear that the author has a firm grasp of the topics and is giving readers the essence."
(Mark Young, Stetson University)

Coping With Life Challenges,
By Josef E Merrill (Washington, DC United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Coping With Life Challenges (Miscellaneous/Catalogs) (Paperback)
This book is primarily written as a textbook for student use; however, it is an excellent book for self appraisal. My wife and I find it very useful and true, it runs in the same vein as Frankl's "Man's Search for Meaning": you have the power to choose how you will respond and in so doing, what kind of life you have.If you are struggling with any type of life-pain, there is a section of this book that will make you say, "hey, that's exactly how I feel." And better yet, since this is written as a text book (but much easier to read than some useless psycho-babble), the author provides an intellectual and emotional framework that makes the problems and trials of life -well- bearable. We think this book helped our marriage a lot too. The chapter on anger really makes parenting easier, and we better understand what things set us off. Overall, there's something here for everyone, and the book is well written, concise, and easy to read. Those three things rarely come together in psycology literature.

Excellent book on coping!,

This review is from: Coping with Life Challenges (2nd Edition) (Paperback)
I suggest this book for anyone either teaching a course on coping (which is who I bought this book for!) or for anyone wishing to learn more about coping themselves. It is a very easy read, and highly informative!
