5.0 out of 5 stars A great help for my clients!, January 23, 1999

By A Customer

Of all the cognitive therapy workbooks I have attempted to use with clients, this one has made the most sense and motivated them to improve their lives. The humor, cartoons, and informal style make this enjoyable, non-threatening, and applicable to many situations. Richard Costa, MSW, LCSW

5.0 out of 5 stars I highly recommend this book..., June 24, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: SOS Help for Emotions: Managing Anxiety, Anger, and Depression (Paperback)

For once, I have chosen a book based on other people's reviews, and I am very pleased with that decision. At the time I purchased it, I was going through a horrible break up that I was so depressed over, and always thinking the worst things "It's all my fault" "if only I was a better girlfriend" - well, after reading the book, I brought my emotions in order, and realized 'it wasn't me - I am not the one with the problem'. This is a light-hearted book, written in language that most normal people can understand, and doesn't make you feel like you are reading a college-level psychology textbook. The first 30 pages will make a difference, a notable difference, and you will start to feel better......I did.

5.0 out of 5 stars Changed my life and helped me recover from eating disorder, January 2, 2001

By A Customer

I came across this book and bought it because it looked interesting. This book changed my life and is a permanent part of my favorite books ( I have so many books that I pack away the ones that I didn't like that much). I am not packing this one away!! This book teaches you how to manage your emotions- something that was never taught to me in life but is the most important part of a healthy mind and life.

I refer back to the book when I feel down or when I need a reminder of the principles. I have read it over and over and I can say I would have never gotten over my overeating without it. I now know how to live life without turning to food to manage my emotions. Because life is all about how you handle it, not what happens to you. The book teaches you how to handle anything-you have the power. You don't have to feel helpless anymore.

I read a review on a book once(that Im going to say for this one because its so true): I would pay $1,000 for this book. It's that wonderful. And it changed my life forever. I am forever in debt to Lynn Clark. I consider him an angel on earth.
