faină și utilă ca și start sănătos spre dezvoltare personală/psihologie de uz personal. dă sfaturi utile în puține cuvinte, repet e UTILĂ, dar nu mi s-a părut revoluționară. probabil pentru că știam deja multe lucruri menționate. dar dacă n-ai citit multă psihologie până acum/vrei ceva de dezvoltare personală care chiar să te ajute, recomand. am extras și eu niște sfaturi useful din ea.

I was expected to something more after the first half of the book. The second half seems a debate between psychiatrists and therapists, and some definitions of different situations (I wouldn’t say diseases).

Arnold Lazarus, together with his son, Clifford Lazarus, shared 116 easy to follow ideas for keeping your sanity in this mad-gone world. While the first half of the book is really worth reading and easy to integrate in your every day life, the second one seems a bit difficult to follow. The second half treats food-related disorders or how to choose a therapist, topics that need larger texts to be dissected and analyzed. All in all it is an okay-ish read for both psychology students and anyone interested in finding out more about their problems. :)

Good mind tricks in the first half of the book, the final quarter was a bit too theoretical in my opinion; anyway I consider it useful.
