An Amazing How-To Book for Seizing Control of Your Life!

In this groundbreaking book, Myron "Doc" Downing casts a new light on how we become the way we are, how we got this way, and how we can change -- if that is our choice. Doc's writing is brave and personal. He never asks you to go where he has not already gone, and his own experiences light the way.This is not an ordinary run-of-the mill self-help book. Rather, it is a book to be read, discussed, re-read, and then discussed again. If you work with people, I would suggest keeping extras on hand. I have given a copy to each of my five daughters and to co-workers. Almost every day, as I listen to people, I find myself thinking "there's an answer to that problem in Doc's book!" and there goes another copy. I would give this book has my very highest, five-star plus, recommendation! Doc ends his book on this note: "My wish for all of you is that you Take Control of Your Life from this day on." This book will let you do exactly that.

A must-read, no doubt!

Taking Control of Your Life is a must-read, no doubt! It's everyday language makes it useful and applicable for just about anyone. You needn't be a mental health professional to follow its flowing text, its comprehensive Lessons, and its practical Exercises. It is the ultimate in personal, self-help guides. One main factor that sets this book aside from other self help aids, is the author's use of personal history and personal experiences. He does not "preach" from a soap box, but rather teaches you what he has learned from his own life experiences. Reading about his experiences made me feel very validated and normal. He helped me realize my problems and issues are common to many people. By the end of the book, I felt I as though I had made a friend.
