REINVENTING YOUR LIFE Often puts the needs of others above personal needs? Start panicking when someone loved one leavesor threatens to leave? Often feel anxious about natural disasters, lose all the money, or get seriously ill? Finding that no matter what success has been achieved, we still feel unhappy, dissatisfied, or unworthy? Stop nodding and read this book. Unsatisfactory relationships, lack of irrational self-confidence, feelings of discontentall these are problems that can be solved by changing the type of message that a person lives on. These self-defeating patterns of behavior are called "lifetraps" (traps in life), and Reinventing Your Life will show us how to stop the cycle that keeps us from achieving happiness. Two leading American psychologistsJeffrey E. Young, Ph.D., and Janet S. Klosko, Ph.D. use the breakthrough principles of cognitive therapy to help us recognize and change negative thought patterns, without the help of drugs or long-term traditional therapies. They describe the eleven most common lifetraps, provide diagnostic tests for each of them, and offer step-by-step advice to help us break free from the pitfalls as well as create a more fulfilling and productive life.
