Manage Your Mind: The Mental Fitness Guide

Product Information

In the world of self-help and personal development, there are two kinds of books: those that deal with your private life (how to improve your relationships, how to overcome depression), and those that focus on work and professional skills (how to manage time effectively, how to cope with the boss).

g., managing one's time better, facing and solving problems better, keeping things in perspective, learning to relax, etc. Acknowledging these fears allows you to confront them and remind yourself that you’re not to blame for their bad manners. Identifying specific thoughts and patterns can help you make the most out of the other tips that follow. The first step is always being able to tune in and recognise something bad is going on in your head.For me, I very much liked that it was written (essentially) like a science textbook - the sort of thing I would've read at Uni. A blend of tried-and-true psychological counseling and no-nonsense management advice grounded in the principles of CBTand other psychological treatments, the book straddled two types of self-help literature, arguing that in one's personal and professional life, the way to success is the same. I was so nervous about my first session, about opening up to someone about my issues, but the moment I entered, he makes you feel very comfortable and relaxed and his techniques really help.

Review from previous edition Manage Your Mind is well-written and contains a wealth of psycho-education and practical strategies. Here’s everything you need to know about this ancient practice, including the definition and techniques for practicing mindfulness. It’s human nature to flinch away from pain, so of course you’d prefer to avoid thoughts that cause distress.This site has an archive of more than one thousand seven hundred interviews, or eight thousand book recommendations. Just as simple measures - regular exercise, a sensible diet - keep your body fit, the strategies described in this book will stretch, strengthen, and tune your mind. Originally published in 1995, the first edition of Managing Your Mind established a unique place in the self-help book market.
