I’m definitely a believer in skills-based therapy and self-help, rather than endless navel-gazing, which is why I picked up this book. The tools, themselves, are described in simple terms that make them accessible - even if the concept is abstract or requires you to suspend skepticism. Some of the concepts might seem hokey, but I tend to believe that most skills will work to some degree if you use them. I especially liked the final chapter, where it discusses the potential of these tools when applied to the collective - not just the individual.
I tried each tool only at the moment the book has you do so, but I plan to now take each one and spend 2-4 weeks practicing with it to really get a feel for its effectiveness. Thankfully, I don’t have any raging personal dramas to wrestle with, but can always use help to a) enhance my commitment to goals (eg spiritual practice), and b) tamp down my self-righteous ire about the state of the world. I’ll try to remember to come back and edit this review after the experiment has concluded.
