I found this an excellent source of information on anger and how to deal with it. As a trainee counsellor who is already working with clients I have used it as a framework for discussing anger problems and found the advice on how to re-appraise our habitual reactions to anger "triggers" was especially useful. I also liked the "leaky bucket" analogy, i.e. that if we don't keep topping up the bucket, the anger drains away. I would recommend the book to counsellors and self-helpers as it is very easy to read and follow. I do think the CBT approach is valuable for learning to manage what I would call "everyday" anger, but I think that there are people with "deep-seated" anger relating to wounds from their past who would need a different approach. ...

Torey Hayden receives another child for her already full "Crazies" class. Children in her class are those which can't be placed elsewhere. Sheila comes from the migrant camp, she'd been abandonned by mother by the side of a highway. Torey works hard to reach into the troubled six year old, gain her trust and educate her. A difficult journey for both teacher and child but one that would leave all but the hardest of hearts unmoved.

Maybe it was me. Maybe working in Mental Health Care with people diagnosed with inconsistent and inaccurate labels distances me from much of what Richard Bentall writes here. The first part of this book was inspiring and informative. Then Bentall (the self confessed academic who lives in his ivory tower completely lost my interest. He became enmeshed in statistics and counter claims which have established medicine as the police force of mental illness.
The first half is excellent, the second half is of use to academics only. It's a shame really. There are other more inspiring reads for the working mental health professional. Try Gamble and Brennan instead.

brilliant! definitely worth a purchase as it gives you many tips and the examples are amazingly helpful!

definitely worth the practice though.

I have gone through a few titles on psychometric tests. I am convinced that this is one of the best books on this subject. It is very comprehensive yet, just manageable to read through. In just one book, it includes all types of psychometric tests including numerical & verbal reasoning, critical reasoning, situational reasoning and personality questions. The book is better written with just one or two minor errors, but gives very useful tips and plenty of practice tests. One small criticism is that it covers only 4 scenario based practice tests, which I think is insufficient. I still think this is just perfect for someone who is looking for a MBA level management job.

The premise of The Power of Your Subconscious Mind is that for many of us our thoughts are on something akin to auto-pilot. In other words, what goes on in our minds is something that at best we observe now and again and at worse something that we ignore completely - and to our detriment.

But Murphy asserts - and backs up with case study after case study - that if we can change the way we think and focus on what we want, we can not only change our moods but we can change our physical bodies as well as our lives.

It might sound like a tall order especially given that our thought patterns are some of the most ingrained habits that we can possess. But Murphy offers very practical and easy-to-use tips on how to use your conscious mind to plant ... Read More:

Anger has been a problem in my life for many years, dating back to my school days in the East-end. I vividly recall being first escorted to the headmaster's study by a sobbing teacher, after a particularly profane outburst in class. Equally vivid is the memory of being escorted to the police station by a sobbing headmaster, which I believe happened shortly afterward. Perhaps the most vivid of all is the memory of being escorted before the Judge by a sobbing policeman. I recall this with crystal clarity- probably because it spoiled my tenth Birthday (which continues to be a source of inner-torment, according to Dr. Stevens). Fortunately I found help and I was able to break free from the cycle before I reached the point of being escorted to the gallows by a sobbing executioner. ... Read More:
