these Books Are Based On The Premise That While People May Not Have Power Over Their Circumstances, They Can Control Their Response To Those Circumstances. According To Hobbs, A Licensed Marriage And Family Therapist, More Joy Can Be Experienced In Life If One Becomes Aware Of One's Current Feelings And Then Responds Differently To Those That Are Negative. To That End, Hobbs Recommends A Three-step Approach, Which She Developed From Principles Found In New Age Spirituality, Bioenergetics, And Other Disciplines. Using Case Studies And Personal Examples, Readers Are Taught How To Make Friends With Anger, Fear, Shame, And Destructive Belief Systems. For Those Interested In Digging Deep Into Their Psyches, This Book Would Be Helpful And Is Recommended For Larger Self-help Collections. Best-selling Writer Casey (each Day A New Beginning) Offers A Less Intense Read Built Around 12 Meditations To Help Readers To Let Go And Let God, So To Speak. While Some Religious And Alcoholics Anonymous-based Solutions Are Woven Throughout, The Prescriptions For Peace And Well-being Are Sound And Involve Various Truisms, E.g., That Obsessing About Others Can Make People Sick. She Encourages Readers To Stop Judging, Do No Verbal Harm, Be Peaceful Rather Than Right, And Learn From All Experiences. This Book Is Small, Is Easy To Digest, And Would Likely Be Taken From The Display Shelf By Someone Needing A Psychological Boost. Recommended For Most Libraries.
