5.0 out of 5 stars Wising Up, pushes Major buttons of Compassion!, February 26, 2000

By	Robert Davidson (Desert Hot Springs, California, USA) - See all my reviews

First of all I have read all of Mr. Minchintons books, and find them very usefull in my teachings. I have used Maximum Self Esteem for seminars and classes. 52 Ways, should never be left at home. And his latest triumph, Wising Up, blew me away. He is so on the money for anyone who truely believes in being well and healing all the ruff spots we acquire through living life our way. Are you sure there are not 6 stars available for this review, it certainly deserves it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wising Up How To Stop Making Such A Mess Of Your Life, February 23, 2000

By	Debbie Newlun (Missouri) - See all my reviews

When I first picked up this book I thought this book is not for me. It was extremely easy to read and it wasn't long before it had me hooked. I love the easy way that he explains things and how they work. I have never been so pleased with a book. It has had an immediate impact on my life. I now make decisions based on exactly what works for me. This gave me the information I needed to make many positive changes in my life and now I know exactly why. I have read many self help books and I can't think of even one that was this easy to incorporate into my life. I highly recommend this book. If this had been taught as a course in school it could have saved me many years of grief.

5.0 out of 5 stars A "reader friendly" contribution to self-help collections., June 6, 2000

By	Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

Using reality based scenarios with multiple-choice responses, Jerry Minchinton address the values, beliefs and expectations that are at the heart of our personal problems. In Wising Up, he shows the reader how to identify their personal problem-solving "level"; avoid setting themselves up for problems; solve problems quickly and effectively; eliminate many problems permanently; prevent problems before they start; replace unrewarding behavior with satisfying options; and think about old problems in new and more helpful ways. Wising Up is "reader friendly" and a highly recommended addition to the self-help bookshelf and reading list.
