Changed my life!
This is a book of strategies to deal with the roots of self-sabotage and burnout. It packs more value per square inch of page than anything else I have read on the topic. Of course, our reception of a book is also a matter of timing in life, but I have to say this one really spoke to me and finally nailed some nasty old habits. Its 'modality' is basically NLP/cognitive hypnotherapy, but the first thing I learned is that the hypnotherapy bit has almost nothing to do with 'hypnosis' techniques and

J’ai eu un énorme coup de coeur pour ce livre. En fait, fight est bien plus qu’un livre, c’est un livre-outil, un coach personnel, une source d’inspiration riche de témoignage à commencer par l’histoire personnelle de l’auteure. Hazel Gale nous invite à réfléchir sur nos problèmes. J’ai été conquise par sa façon originale d’aborder notre développement personnel. J’ai lu plus d’une vingtaine de livres dans cette catégorie et vraiment je trouve qu’il sort du lot ! En ce sens je pense qu’il pourrai

Every day we all go into natural hypnotic trances. Driving to work without even remembering it. Being in a meeting where your mind has wandered. It is this state of mind that is used in cognitive hypnotherapy. It blends hypnosis with cognitive behavioural therapy. It also uses tools from positive psychology, cognitive theory and neuro-linguistic programming.
Hazel uses a blend of theory and exercises in this book. She makes it accessible and engaging. Using her own experiences to show how the sug ...more

I have been really impressed by this book..so much so that I have purchased two additional copies for family and have recommended to friends. No one has been offended (so far!) as we all have stuff to work through at times- this book allows you to do that privately and in your own time.
It is based on sound scientific research and clearly explains the theory behind the self help concepts yet still making the process fully accessible and engaging. It has a straightforward layout and language. Ther ...more

I normally loathe self-help books. This one was genuinely good. It uses proper science and genuine knowledge that one can apply to one's life, without ever falling into the "Eat, Pray, Love" paradigm. I'd say as far as self-help books go, this is a worthy one to read.

A great tool for anybody, and especially those who can’t find or afford a therapist.
While reading I was tempted to send a copy of the book to many of people I know.

Self-sabotage is probably the meanest form of sabotage, because the saboteur has taken root in the deepest layers of the mind and where one stands or walks: it is 24 hours on the spot. In a perpetual feeling of "not enough", the self-sabotage causes stress and unhappiness. This self-assessment is deeply embedded in our unconscious layers and often we are unknowingly confronted with it. It accompanies our development like a basso continuo, we are used to it - we often even flirt with it. At times

Unlike other 'self help' books this is far from patronising. It's founded in science and shared through the lens of Hazel's personal story. Written with humility and humour, you not only connect to Hazel's story but can draw parallels from it to your own situation, whatever that may be.

This book is fantastic. I get fed up with these hyped up personal development books that are pages and pages of fluff to bulk up the content around one concept or idea. This book is PACKED with detail, research, techniques and stories. It's like a manual that you can turn to for understanding why you're sabotaging yourself. The concept - splitting the part of you that self-sabotages from the rest of you and learning from it to transform it - is laid out really well. I love the way this is writte

This book is so well researched. I learned something useful in every chapter. Just brilliant.
Awesome. Can change your life
The book is full of information, techniques, and also has a lot of groundwork before you can start applying actual techniques. I did find that tedious at first, especially when some of it seemed irrelevant to me. But I am glad I pushed on.
I found the chapters and information on metaphorical thinking to be incredibly valuable. For those of us who can't just rationally argue away the compulsions of the sabotaging self - here's a more visual and metaphorical approach that may just work when you can ...more

One of the most impactful books I've read by far.
It's gathering a lot of already known methods of therapy in one position. It guides you through the process and gives you the tools, not only theory.
It's a little bit too long in my opinion, due to numerous repetitions of some methods, but I'm sure the author aim was to educate and remember most of the things.

Interesting book with some really good ideas in it, although I found quite a few hard to figure out how to implement. I think this might be an excellent book to work through with someone such as a coach, though.
I enjoyed the first part of this book but the more I read the less I felt it was talking to me.
