This review is from: How to Stay Mentally Fit and Incredibly Productive (David Essel's Dynamic Living Series) (Audio Cassette)

David Essel is equally talented at hosting his radio program and developing a positive rapport with a live audience in a class type setting. His upbeat and optimistic attitude gives his lectures a fun, vibrant, and entertaining feel.

David Essel has a great way of including the audience and they respond well to his jokes, spontaneous laughter and ability to catch them unawares at times. He keeps the audience laughing and you will enjoy his humor, while also becoming more aware of your inner world.

This lesson is divided into four sections. David first teaches us how to have an open mind to new possibilities. Through his own experiences he was able to accept the limitations of certain medications and tried something new, it worked! We also learn how to accept ourselves, follow our own path in life and to take risks to further our own success.

To hear David's enthusiasm, you would never expect to hear the stories of his own depression. This tells me he is a man who has grown a great deal in his life. He has learned how to bring happiness into his life. While he discusses St. John's Wort and other herbs, I suggest trying the newest cure for depression: SAM-e. It doesn't have any side effects. St. John's Wort can cause sun sensitivity.

Through the lessons presented, you will learn how to use natural remedies to heal the mind and body, learn to be vulnerable and say what you need to say, and develop a joyful perspective in your own life. David shows that a man can expose his emotional side. After all, he wrote "Phoenix Soul," a book of deep thoughtful poems and he is into sports and working out.

He explains how we should not be trapped by who we think we are, but rather we should see the possibility of expanding ourselves and become a more interesting person through discovering our hidden talents. According to David, we all have a book inside of us.
