Produktbeschreibung

Our beliefs about ourselves, others and the world in which we live have a profound effect on the quality of our lives. Beliefs often develop without our knowledge or approval. Our perceptions and interpretations can become fixed entities to which we strongly attach and which we fiercely protect. Our beliefs evolve through many sources: what we've been taught; experiences we've had and our interpretations of those experiences; what we've learned to fear; and what significant people in our lives have modeled for us.

In this book, Dr. Esonis examines eight debilitating "Thematic Belief Systems" that have appeared frequently in her practice as a psychologist, life coach and college faculty associate. By helping clients and students identify and change these "crazy" beliefs, individuals have found their own voice and thus ecome healthier and happier people. Unfortunately, we seldom take a hard look at our beliefs and weigh whether they're based in reality, serve us well or cause paralysis and distress. Thematic Belief Systems offer a framework for interpreting the events we experience. Since our beliefs play a large role in defining our reality, our decisions and our behavior, it behooves each of us to take stock of our thinking patterns frequently and thoughtfully.

8 Crazy Beliefs That Screw Up Your Life offers specific criteria to investigate each of these belief systems and learn effective strategies that utilize the principles of Positive Psychology to help make the changes necessary for better health and increased happiness.
