Train your brain! by M. Parker (Rock Hill, SC)

My psychologist suggested I read this book due to bouts of depression, anxiety and what I'll call automatic thoughts that seemed to spiral downward at times. This book is more than simply cognitive retraining. The concepts are simple for the most part but difficult to put into practice if you've battled negativity often. The amount of scientific research put into this book is quite impressive. There was a lot of information to process and I plan to read it again and follow some of the exercises that take some real effort. Anyone who has struggled with negativity and depression will get a lot out of this book. It's not "just" another self help book.

This book is actually a text book for a college class.Despite this, it is extremely well written and contains research findings and plain talk explanations. This is not a new age anecdotal waste of time. It is a wonderful and useful experience.

Your "GO TO" book on being positive! by Loving Life (Henderson, NV USA)

This book is fabulous! I would recommend this book to anyone having difficulty staying on the positive side of the fence in life. I faced a major illness and this book helped me to keep the negative thoughts out of my mind. It helped me move forward in my daily life in a positive way. I would give this book to any of my friends that seemed down, had major issues, were facing challenges. It is a wonderful book to renew your perspective on yourself and the people around you and if you choose, you can adjust your life with the evidence based strategies. A five star book, better than any book I have ever read. If I were looking for one book to read this year, this would be it!
