Nõustamine on sama vana kui inimkond, psühhoteraapiast välja kasvanud nõustamispsühholoogia aga alles otsib oma ainevalda. See raamat on mõeldud neile, keda huvitavad nõustamiskunsti psühholoogilised tagamaad ning eneseabivõtted. Raamatu käsikiri valmis autoril Akadeemia Nord tudengeile ja magistrandidele nõustamispsühholoogia aluste tutvustamisel. Elamistarkuse ja eneseabi küsimustest on pikemalt juttu Anti Kidroni varasemais väljaandeis «Keskendusmiskunst» ja «Oska olla enda psühholoog».
It was a so-so book. On one hand it was very randomly put together, in the other there was some useful thoughts and materials for me. The author tried to comprehend a lot of topics but was not able to say too much on any. It varied from very general descriptions to concrete step-by-step tutorials how to change negative thinking patterns. There was no unified style how the chapters were built up. Like the author had just thrown together all the things he remembered about the topic. And some of the material has outdated for now. But I still got some useful information and techniques. And of course it is was nice to revise the material I already knew. In conclusion, there are probably better books on counselling psychology out there.
