Quick, no nonsense reminders for how to solve problems

Being a psychotherapist for 25 years I hesitated at first to look at a book that promised instant happiness. But I was curious and then found myself skipping along through the book, opening to topics that I work on with my patients. The great thing about this book is that it really does save time, and gives you a welcome boost instantly. It serves to help you get through a difficult time immediately, without a lot of reading, and almost replaces those personal coaches who call you on the phone and give you quick encouragement. I now recommend it to my patients when they need a fast reminder and guidance on things they forget. I also enjoy it myself when I need a therapist to whisper in my ear. Refreshing!

I love this book!

I loved this book so much, after ordering one for myself I bought two more as gifts. It is packed with insightful suggestions on everything from parenting to positive thinking. I find I turn to the book often just to give my brain a jump start in the right direction. I highly recommend it.

A Quick & Easy-to-Use Mood-Lifter

This is an awesome book that really does what it claims. It has 13 chapters, beginning with one on positive thinking. True to its subtitle, "Quick Pick-me-ups for Busy People," you can just look up whatever's bothering you at the moment and voila! There are so many excellent questions to guide you, and I love the affirmations section in each chapter. This book doesn't waste your time...there are many more answers for the money than the average self-help book. Best of all, it puts you in a great mood...fast!
