Eyes to See Emotionally

I highly recommend this book. I just read it and found it to be reflective of the treatment I received from Dr. Layden many years ago. Being treated by him was a landmark event in my life. Just let me just say that I would not have had the life I've had otherwise. Though the ideas are counter-intuitive, I can verify from decades of experience that they worked for me. I read the book because I wanted to give several copies out to friends and had to be sure I could answer questions if necessary. It was such a pleasure to hear Dr. Layden's voice again in these pages. He was wise, kind, and suprisingly direct, and his goal was to get you better as quickly as possible. He never married, but was completely dedicated to his work. The strange thing is that I haven't seen this type of therapy anywhere else and I don't see its principals employed very often at all in human interactions. It's a pity because it could help a lot of folks out there. Dr. Layden was like an missionary for good emotional health. The treatment espoused in `Escaping the Hostility Trap' gave me eyes to see emotionally. I found it analogous to having eyes to see spiritually after being born-again. It's like being born-again emotionally! At least it was for me, and that's the highest compliment I can give.

Escaping the Hostililty Trap

I am only on page 16 and I cannot put this book down. This book is so sensible yet so essential to improving one's life, happiness and health, by explaining and understanding hostility, and how to get and give respect to self and others.
