Not much content, a lot of references to courses and programs she runs. Not too useful but maybe worth the money - I think I paid a couple of dollars.

Intressant introduktion, men inte jättebra på att sälja in terapiformen. Hade jag inte redan varit nyfiken genom att en psykologvän faktiskt nyttjar den i sessioner hade jag varit mer tveksamt till den., även fast jag tror på, och själv nyttjar, delar av den via andra terapiformer. Men samtidigt är det väl inte lätt att sälja in en ny terapiform som går emot vad vi i många år lärt oss, man lär behöva öva det, snarare än att läsa det.

I really liked the 1st half of the book, especially the train exercise. Here's what I wrote when I had to return the book to the library, "Probably the most important mental strength book you'll read in your lifetime. Improved my efficiency and life satisfaction exponentially. Hopefully you heard it here first."
When I finally got access to the book again 3 - 12 months later, I read the highlights, and didn't like the rest of the book. Besides the train exercise, it is probably sufficient to contemplate the concept of "acceptance". As the book says, life is suffering, and all the things you've struggled with continuously over the years aren't going away. Stop fighting them, and focus on the real work ahead.

De essentie van het boek is basically: piekeren is vermoeiend en je kan er depressief van worden. Dus doe gwn ff niet.
Ik snap het punt dat ze willen maken, maar het komt wat kort door de bocht over. Opzich is het wel goed om te lezen, want je wordt wel bewuster van je eigen gepieker. En het is een goede reminder dat je ook dingen kan doen op basis van gevoel, zonder er te veel over na te denken.
