You Can Easily Reinvent Your Life

By Leslie Mitchell


In recent times, self help books and guides have become very popular. Some people might see them as hokey or as somewhat of a gimmick, but many of those who have tried them report high satisfaction and have seen great results from following some of the guidelines set forth. There is a series of books to help or identify nearly every issue, problem, or cause for stress that a person can suffer from, so you may reinvent your life.

One such popular self help book is called exactly that, actually. This book, by PhDs Jeffrey Young and Janet Klosko, helps readers break patterns in their routines which are holding them back and bogging them down. There are 11 tips in all detailed in the book, with each tip offering helpful advice, insight, and reasons for change.

Along with each eleven situations in the text comes the author's plan for evaluation, education, and action. These common emotional problems or patterns are called schemes or lifetraps throughout the text. Nearly all of the lifetraps are universally experienced among people from all over the world as they are innate human reactions to stressful and hard situations and issues.

All 11 lifetraps take center stage in the book as well as the steps readers can take for those that apply to them. The different traps and patterns are varied, but the most commonly experienced are likely a low self-worth and self-esteem, paranoia or extreme anxiety over possible death or danger, continually engaging in destructive relationships, and not being happy with any success whatsoever. Both authors write with compassion and a huge amount of knowledge and truly show their desire to help others. T

All of the eleven lifetraps detailed in the book underlie bigger issues that people face emotionally. By addressing these issues, people can confront those things about themselves which they are unhappy with and which are holding them back in many areas of their lives. The text and its supplemental material provide readers with helpful and detailed case studies of other people who suffer from similar issues and how the program helped them improve their lives.

Along with the case histories in the book comes tests for self-diagnosis, detailed lists, and helpful steps for readers to take to overcome the common traps and pitfalls in their lives. A negative self-image has a very bad impact on people's lives. Continuing to practice destructive lifestyles without guidance and help is a big concern as some people cannot recover once they go too far.

Both authors are helpful and respectful but they also know what it takes to improve one's situation and they pull no punches. Some of the techniques that they suggest in the book include cognitive practices like creating lists and then acting on the steps. Other practices are behavioral, like changing daily tasks and habits and others are experiential like getting more in touch with the child inside us.

This easy to read and understand book has been well received and reviewed by both critics and buyers alike. The authors provide a great deal of compassion but also stand firm in their belief that most traps can be overcome and you can reinvent your life. It is definitely something people should check out for themselves.
