This was, for me a very vivid reminder of the work I did while in treatment for alcoholism.
Yet also the work I continued to do after such, and am still practicing today.
Some of these 'lessons' had slipped away and it was indeed handy for that reminder.
Interestingly, much of the content of the book comes into play quite regularly for me and is ever evolving.
Well written and presented. Useful in most if not all of life's scenarios as it is quite adaptable.

A good read and a must re read

I enjoy reading Dr. Doyle blogs and this book summaries a lot of his most important teachings about coping with depression, anxiety and other mental health issues. I would recommend this book to anyone looking to reinforce or learn about self care and moving forward to a life with the skill and tools to make it a happy life.

Worth the read

Solid lessons with a dash of humor, without the condescending tone some clinicians can have and certainly not the simpering tone many self help gurus take on. Definitely worth the time to review in snippets or all in one go.

Quick, easy read, with some good food for thought and take-home lessons.
