Have you ever made a lasting change from self-help book or seminar?

Posted on 30 September 2009 by admin

Lots of stuff out there. 7 habits of highly effective people, Tony Robbins, The Power of Positive thinking. I wish there were a book or audiobook that could motivate me to make a change. Unfortunately, I have found most of this genre to be cliched, or commercials for other books by the authors.
Please tell me a good one, that has caused a real change in your behavior or your way of thinking.

Yes, I have. I practiced Cognitive Behavior Therapy recently and found it effective in changing the negative thinking patterns in my mind. It was a 20 step audio/workbook series that I did for like 4 or 5 months. I still have negative thoughts sometimes, but not as much. I try and be more optimistic nowadays. The therapy I did was for my social anxiety though, so I am not sure if this is what you are looking for. I think that you should go on amazon.com and look up books about CBT. They have tons of reviews that can help you choose which book would be best for you. Good luck and don’t give up!

I had cassettes of Tony Robbins and they sounded great in theory but not in practice. What really did help me (as a young adult) was the book: "the gentle art of verbal self-defense". I still have problems sticking up for myself at times but I’ve gotten a lot better.

Sorry, they are all gimmicks; old ides with new twists, pandered to make the authors rich. Change comes from the desire within.
