As a writer, rejection is a part of life. I have been working on material for so long, I've forgotten how the pain of a rejection can encourage writer's block. I picked up this book for the sole purpose of facing rejection head-on. It worked. The advice Fishbein offers: Take the pain away by making yourself numb. Get so many 'no's' they don't hurt anymore. The first time I was published, I was attempting to get 100 rejections by a particular date. Now, I'm doing it again. The more rejections I get, the more proof, I have that I am "doing it, I'm living the dream." I will continue to add up the rejections even after I get that one sweet "Yes."

I also found the other first aid suggestions helpful. The book serves as a good reminder that life's little pains can get the best of us at times, and applying a little first aid will keep us in the game.

Didn't find it too useful on the first pass, but I can see it as a useful set of knowledge to have to be a better person or help out someone that is mentally depressed, which may be be mental wounds that can be remedied with some emotional first aid.

A compact and easy to read book for when you're/those you care are having some problem with mental health condition. Presented in practical way with some practices that's applicable, some words spoke to me personally.

This book is more likely to help you when you are angry, sad, upset, depressed, in trauma than friends, family, psychiatrists, doctors.

Really!

This book will more likely become the only friend you need to lift you up emotionally.


This book will more likely prepare you up for all future struggles... in school, in relationship, in family, at work and ensure you have a smooth life ahead.


This book will more likely make you feel like a SUNDAY's child!!!!
