Customer Reviews

Useful and thoughtful

This little book is a gem! By blending personal stories from friends and family with his own commentary, John Frykman spins a comforting thread that demonstrates that creativity, heart, and willingness to "think outside the box" are often all that's needed to get "unstuck" from whatever's holding you back from happiness and your real life. I have read and re-read many sections of this book; it has a permanent place on my nightstand!

Demystifying Human Change

John Frykman has compiled a book of excellence. A book of excellence that is dependent on everyday experiences at moments when things became different. They are legion. Getting Unstuck is emminently easier than cure a disease or ameliorating a disorder. John has helped return the Human Being to work of change. YOU are not ILL,YOU are not DISORDERED, YOU are stuck. Getting Unstuck is inspirational in it's simplicity, from a range of contributors who give testimony that therapeutic endeavor and life change are achievable without pathology. Thank you for your efforts these many decades, John. This fine book should be a must read for graduate students steeped in pathology, theories, formalities, structures and idiocies of the professional world.
