Phil Stutz дает нам набор таких подходов. Всего их пять. По мнению автора, мы сможем ре��ить с помощью этих инструментов большинство своих психологических проблем. JOHN: Don't claim to know that something is bullshit or doesn't work before you've had the humility to try it. A dynamic, results-oriented practice, The Tools aims to deliver relief from persistent problems and restore control and hope right away. Every day presents challenges—big and small—that the tools transform into opportunities to bring about bold and dramatic change in your life. Stutz and Michels teach you how to: Jeopardy, or how to remind yourself to actually use the other four tools by keeping the consequences of future regret and squandered opportunity squarely in your awareness.The book has several principles, following which should make our life much better; if only we could just follow them! The first one being, basically, 'love your enemies'. I mean, yes, I've heard this recommendation before, I trust it works for those who can do it, and yet I so do not love some people...

The authors' have combined Positive Thinking, Positive Actions, Spirituality, Faith, Love and being United with the Higher Power as ingredients to their Powerful Formula. And the foundation for its success is in the hands of the clients – they willingness, perseverance, determination and dedication to apply these principles every time and in every area of their lives. This is a necessary book which is unnecessarily long. The tools simplify tried and true for cognitive behavioural therapy, and cut through the cognitive complexities with a shortcut to the behavioural component. There’s nothing there that hasn’t been said before, however, the delivery and instructions would make more immediate behavioural change, accessible to more people, and probably many more. PHIL: We can joke about therapy taking 30 years, but most therapists really want to be helpful. I only ask you to try The Tools and observe.Phil Stutz helps people in learning how to bring courage, confidence, and creativity, on their way to a flourishing life. I was really interested by the ideas is this book, mostly because they are extensions of a lot of things I've been thinking about lately. The section about consumers vs creators particularly hit home, as lately I've felt especially beat down by the barrage of ads every single place I turn in life and the realization that their sole purpose is to create dissatisfaction. The Tools offers a solution to the biggest complaint patients have about therapy: the interminable wait for change to begin. The traditional therapeutic model sets its sights on the past, but psychiatrist Phil Stutz and psychotherapist Barry Michels employ an arsenal of techniques—“the tools”—that allow patients to use their problems as levers that access the power of the unconscious and propel them into action. Suddenly, through this transformative approach, obstacles become new chances—to find courage, embrace discipline, develop self-expression, deepen creativity.

Active Love, or how to escape loops of revenge and feelings of injustice by tapping into a much greater force and using it to rid oneself of toxicity. Really useful after getting riled up on social media. I'm logging my notes here tbh mainly for me if ever I lose my notes somehow, at least I still have a reference here. but hey something might interest you, I suggest you read this or watch Stutz. Random House presents the audiobook edition of Coming Alive: 4 Tools to Defeat Your Inner Enemy, Ignite Creative Expression and Unleash Your Soul's Potential, written and read by Phil Stutz and Barry Michels. This edition includes a bonus PDF of graphs and diagrams. After you struggle with implementing a couple of suchlike principles in your life, what they tell you is: now, please accept it that you'll always have to struggle (with it or just generally), life will never be quite nice. I definitely see the truth of this, I know this deep inside, but on the other hand, all I ever want is, you know, to be healthy, happy, and rich :)When I was going through the most difficult years of my life, I was able to use this method to find my strength. We all have the ability to save ourselves, yet we need guidance when we are lost. In Coming Alive you can find the road map to enlightenment.” —Drew Barrymore

JOHN: Most psychiatrists wouldn't combine the psychological and the spiritual. There's kind of a classic divide that way and most psychological thought seems to reside more on the secular, intellectual side. I saw a review for this book, I think in Time Magazine, and thought it would be a great self help book. The authors are both psychologist that provide tools to deal with life problems in there psychotherapy approach with there patients. This book provides many of those examples.By combining 60 years of hands-on working experience using the elements of Jungian psychology with the kind of practical approach found in Ellis' Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy, Psychiatrist Phil Stutz and Psychotherapist Barry Michels have designed an innovative approach to help clients suffering from Depression, Anxiety, Insecurities, Past Hurts and Difficult Problems find Innovative & Spiritual Solutions. They believe that Traditional Time-Proven Therapy – which though effective, focuses too extensively on the causes of the problem and not on finding a permanent solution. Can you imagine what your life would be like if you could tap into a new source of power – one that has been inside you all along – to solve your own problems and become the master of your life? Minimalistic rebranding of psychological interventions (reframing, visualization, meditation, self-talk). This in and of itself is not enough for a poor review. However as a mental health professional, their misrepresentation of the science of psychology as well as forcing a spiritual world view make this book both frustrating and frightening.
