Publisher's summary

Nobody is born insecure, angry, bored, or depressed. The fact is, happiness is our natural state and, as psychologist Dr. Joseph J. Luciani explains in this warm, witty, and empowering guide, chronic unhappiness is just a bad habit, a habit that can be broken.

It's much easier than you think! Based on Dr. Luciani's 25 years of experience helping patients unlearn reflexive, destructive thinking, The Power of Self-Coaching arms you with all the tools you need to free yourself from your mental and emotional traps. As you work through the many self-quizzes, training and coaching exercises, and Power Drills, you'll see yourself anew and feel yourself growing lighter, more spontaneous, and ready to take charge of your life.

A proven five-step program for reconnecting with the innate capacity for happiness, The Power of Self-Coaching gives you what you need to:

  • Identify learned patterns of thought and feelings that are making you unhappy
  • Use Dr. Luciani's celebrated Self-Talk techniques to develop new, healthy ways of thinking and feeling
  • Eliminate boredom, hopelessness, chronic fatigue, and emotional numbness from your life
  • Tap your full creative, intellectual, and emotional potential and live the rich, rewarding life you want and deserve

    Helpful

    A helpful kick in the pants when you are ready for it. Not profoundly revelatory, but coaches aren’t supposed to be. Get up, change your life. You can do it.

    The best of the best

    I just had to write a review of this book. I loved it. It covered real issues with a real solution that when applied does work. I have been doing what's recommended before reading this book. It just confirmed answers I have been receiving through prayer. I love when that happens. You pray, you get an answer then God confirms the answer. Try the book and also try prayer.

    Good for Beginners in Mental Health

    It was a good summary of the field of self help. I think it would most bennifit newcomers to these mindsets, so long as they follow up with a professional or a solid plan to achieve the kinds of accomplishments he's described. This book was published in 2004 and it reflects the early 2000's mental health field- which isn't altogether bad... I've been working on my mental health for 10 years, 15 years ago I think I would have found this book inspiring, now I hear his messages as repetitive. That being said he did make a few statements that I found intriguing and worth pondering over. The main message of the book was resilience which I think is good for everyone to hear.

    I love the whole concept

    Firstly, this narrative is great, which is absolutely paramount for a book that you will replay and replay like you will for this book. I now leave it on as I sleep to soak it into my subconscious and in my waking life, I truly feel less intimidated starting my entrepreneurship. This solidly useful tool brilliantly shields you against your own mind blocks. It would be appreciated by anyone who is diligently pushing through to their next level in personal growth. The wisdom herein, would, expectantly, help them crack through to their next financial level if they apply what they hear from this gifted literature! Best wishes to you and enjoy your new book and the success it can offer to you.
