This is one of the most helpful books I have read. It taught me how to talk to myself rather than listen to myself, preventing depression. I would recommend it to anyone, and it's a good one to go through with a friend.
I'm having a hard time giving some adequate thoughts about this title. Not because it was bad but because it was SO good. And because one read isn't enough. I'm labeling my first read of it a warm-up read to the real read which might lead to a cool down read of it. Seriously! It is a small, short little book that is packed full of really wise counsel. Do you hear what you are thinking? Think about that question again. What you think translates into belief and action. So what we think needs to be reexamined, most especially if what we believe about ourselves, the world, faith, etc and how we act because of those beliefs are unhealthy. I don't think in positive and healthy ways about myself and that manifests itself in all sorts of dysfunction junction ways. I am okay admitting this, I am not okay with living like it *forever* ~ especially when I am aware of it and know it can be different. My counselor mentioned this book somewhat offhandedly so I searched it out - literally had to search it out as it is out of print and hard to find - and am glad to have found it. I'll also be glad to share it, my husband is the next person I'm handing it to for reading and gleaning! *wink*
This book has has much to commend Itself as far as "taking thoughts captive to Messiah". One could misuse what the call visualization. A useful and worthwhile Book especially as it speak to "Perfectionism".
