Mystic Cool: A proven approach to transcend stress, achieve optimal brain function, and maximize your creative intelligence. Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I know lots of companies looking to squeeze more work out fewer people these days. For them, I highly recommend having their teams read Mystic Cool. It balances out the technical and hard skills that are currently being taught in organization with a skill set that allows individuals to face the apprehension of change and the demand for high performance. This book teaches people not just how to survive the the challenges we all face, but how to flourish in the face of adversity.
Don Goewey does a great job translating scientific findings into an easy-to-use program that works, no matter who you are or what you do. All the tools and techniques he teaches in this book are great, and the "Clear Button" was a real family saver for me. Whether its the end of the day or the end of the week, in a matter of seconds I can now take all my business concerns and endless chatter I have in my head and turn it off. When Dad is home, dad is home. Now, not only can I enjoy my time away from the office but the time I have at home so much more.

The Forgiving Self: The Road from Resentment to Connection Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I found this book perceptive and personally helpful.
Robert Karen is careful, at the beginning of the book, to make clear his intentions. He is not using forgiveness as a blanket application nor is he discussing the forgiveness of great atrocities (the Holocaust, 9/11, etc.) or the forgiveness of such terrible violations as sexual, physical and verbal abuse. He is exploring, rather, forgiveness as a step towards wholeness: the recognition that people can be both lovable and infuriating, that we ourselves can be flawed and yet worthwhile. Karen is encouraging the reader to move beyond "good guy--bad guy" tags, to accept that people--our parents, ourselves--can be imperfect without being the enemy.
This acceptance and recognition, Karen makes clear, is a process. He is not advocating forgiveness as something easy or instantaneous or even, sometimes, appropriate. Forgiving, from Karen's point of view, is a dialog, whether it is a dialog with another person or with our past. The hallmark of this kind of forgiveness is honesty--to honestly admit, "This is how I feel, this is what I'm doing, this is what I experience." Karen is not interested in "fixing" problems: "Okay, I won't do, feel, experience that anymore." He is interested in illustrating the achievement of being able to say, "Okay, I feel this envy or this malice. I don't like it. That's also part of me. I'm a whole person."
Wholeness is the object of Karen's book: how to achieve personal wholeness through recognizing the potential wholeness in other people: "I can still love someone even though they are flawed." In this, Karen accesses a deep truth, call it religious or ethical or whatever (and why should religion and ethics be removed from mental health?): to try to act towards others how we would like them to act towards us.
Karen uses a number of movies, books and current events as examples. Although some of these are applicable, and they are all very interesting, these object lessons are less credible and less applicable than his therapy work and personal experiences.

Recommendation: Buy it.
