“Persist. Don’t give up. Your ability to heal yourself by modifying your thoughts and feelings is a tremendous power. You can change what you think and therefore what you feel. You can change the structure of your life by altering the structure of your mind. You can take away your pain.”
“Life is hard. To cope, all of us have been given a random set of tools and instructions by parents, family, friends, teachers, bosses, and others. Some of this has been helpful, some not. This book gives you tools from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) that work. It is a guide for changing how you respond to your moods and your life. You may believe painful feelings are caused by forgotten childhood experiences. Maybe you assume the only way to relieve these feelings is through long, difficult analysis to root out unconscious memories and associations. There is some connection between your distant past and painful feelings in the present. But there is a much more immediate and accessible source of emotions: your current train of thought.”
