This is what your psychologist would really tell you?if he thought you could handle it! This is the kick up the backside the self-help genre needs: an intelligent, provocative and thought-provoking expose of the modern myths that we?re told make us happier, but in reality screw us up. Clinical psychologist, Dr Stephen Briers shines a light into the dark corners of self-help and explodes the myths, false hopes, quack philosophies and unrealistic expectations it routinely advocates. It is a refreshing antidote to the `same old same old? approaches, offering a radical re-think of the way we approach problems in our lives, offering empowering new perspectives and expert advice on avoiding the biggest life traps. Dr Briers questions the perceived wisdom, shakes up the status quo, and encourages us to think again. 606 $aSelf-help techniques$xEvaluation 606 $aPsychology, Applied 606 $aPsychology$vPopular works 615 0$aSelf-help techniques$xEvaluation. 615 0$aPsychology, Applied. 615 0$aPsychology 676 $a158 700 $aBriers$b Stephen$f1965-$01240986 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910150226103321 996 $aPsychobabble$92878932 997 $aUNINA
