Practical strategies for improving your life by MagnificentDe (Sydney, Australia)  5 Stars
October 16, 2009
This excellent book helped me to identify, and develop practical strategies to survive, traumatic incidents from my past which have affected my interpersonal relationships for many decades.
Based on Young's Schema Therapy questionaire (which can be downloaded from the web), Reinventing your life takes us through a process of identification of "faulty thinking" which impacts in negative ways on our emotions and hence our relationships.
This book was recommended by my psychologist, whom I will say I was glad to be able to discuss sections with... it can stir up some deeply buried excrement, so make sure you have a friend at least to support the reinvention process.
Highly recommended for those who want to dig deep and throw out the trash for a better life.

Not very helpful by Martin P. Cohen (Langhorne, PA USA)  3 Stars
August 02, 2009
I fail to see what all those who have given positive reviews of this book see in it. Here, in essence, is what the book says.
In the first section there are tests to confirm what you already know about yourself, that you are socially isolated or suffering from low self-esteem. The book then shows how in each instance this might have been caused by your parents. It then says that you have to get past blaming your parents and solve your problems on your own. This, it says, may be very difficult. As aids it suggests making an outline of changes, doing things in small steps and (I am not making this up) making use of flashcards. It also says that it might help to see a therapist.
I once saw Bob Newhart do a comedy routine where he played the part of a psychotherapist. The therapist provided patients with a single five minute session. Whatever aberrant behavior the patient complained about, the solution provided was to stop doing it. That is what this book boils down to. If you feel you need to be told this, then go out and buy it.

Book purchase (Purchased on 05/31/2009) by J. Rice (North Dakota)  1 Stars
July 04, 2009
The book I purchased was the correct title, but was an old version. The version/edition should have been shown, as I would have liked to have known the book was an old edition, as I thought I was purchasing the new edition.
