4 Stars An Inspiring, Empowering Guide to Life
Self-Coaching to the rescue…again! After reading ‘Self-Coaching: The Five Essential Steps to Creating the Life You Want,’ I felt so empowered. Dr. Luciani’s straightforward approach is so user-friendly but incredibly powerful. I never realized how my insecurity about certain issues held me back from experiencing true fulfillment and happiness in many areas of my life. Dr. Luciani certainly has tapped the pulse of the postmodern American human condition. Everyone should read this book.
4 Stars Defusing negative self-talk
This book uses what some refer to as cognitive therapy to defuse a person’s negative self-talk. I found it interesting but wished that the author would have given more tips for how to do this earlier in the book. The first three quarters of the book is basically an analysis of how you think to detect the level of dysfunctional self-talk you might have. The tests were illuminating and overall the book was worth reading.
If you enjoyed this book be sure to check out the phenomenal Learned Optimism: How to Change Your Mind and Your Life. It has a broader explanation of cognitive therapy.
5 Stars Great Book
This is an amazing book if you are feeling down on your luck, or keep thinking pessimistically over things in life. Great motivation to change your life into the right direction.
Thanks Prof. Luciani!
5 Stars Recommend this book!
I found this to be extremely helpful. It cuts right to the chase and helps you learn how to control your thinking. These techniques have truly helped me to handle stress in a different way.
5 Stars This can do the trick!
I had about given up on feeling better. It was just not meant for me. So I got this CD set (honestly, who could stand reading?) and listened while I drove to work. Then I listened some more. The things Luciani pointed out were so obvious and so stark from what I had over-analyzed before, it made a difference in my life immediately. It’s like lending someone your watch so they can tell you what time it is.
If you’re read Dale Carnegie’s ‘How to Stop Worrying…’ and agreed with it in principle but just couldn’t make the ideas work (I had this problem), this book is very similar – with one exception. It helps you to see the self-sabotage going on inside you head. I see the two books as being very similar, but Self-Coaching gives you the ammo. It helps you recognize what’s going on – when it’s happening. And then it gives you the tools to combat it.
This CD is absolutely making a positive impact in my life. I continue to listen time to time to remember nuances or when I need a hand, but things are getting better. I keep working at the very simple ideas and that propels me on. I am glad I took the chance with this CD set. If you’ve about given up, I suggest you give it a shot.
