This review is from: 10 Steps to Take Charge of Your Emotional Life: Overcoming Anxiety, Distress, and Depression Through Whole-Person Healing (Hardcover)

Dr. Wood is a seasoned and astute psychiatrist with a wealth of experience. In this book she presents an approach that is easy to understand, and more importantly, easy to implement. She does not present any esoteric analytical or existential ideologies, but rather guides the reader to greater personal insight and problem solving that is practical and achievable. I recommend this book as highly as her first book. Start here and you are on the way to greater personal understanding, growth, self-control, and happiness.

This review is from: 10 Steps to Take Charge of Your Emotional Life: Overcoming Anxiety, Distress, and Depression Through Whole-Person Healing (Hardcover)

I have found this book as a wonderful tool, I am sure that it can make a difference in someone's life if they really read and use the proposed tools that it has, I have obtained really good results in my personal progress by taking into consideration many of the suggestions that Dr Wood does. Knowing yourself concepts that she proposed are effective, to the point and really clearly explained...really all the book is that way.

This book is so complete mainly for someone that is looking for literature that focuses on mind, body & spirit healing.

I have share some of the ideas that I have learned with my friends, collegues and some psychologist friends of mine, this has come a highly interesting conversation topic and some of them are adquiring this book to keep on learning and helping their personal growth & healing process.
