31 Reviews
Penguin Group (USA) Incorporated, May 1, 1994 - Self-Help - 365 pages
Two of America's leading psychologists, Jeffrey E. Young, Ph.D., and Janet S. Klosko, Ph.D., show readers how to free themselves from negative life patterns. Written with compassion as well as clinical insight, this thought-provoking book guides readers through the process of identifying "life traps." For example, "Do you put the needs of others before your own? Are you drawn into relationships with people who are self-centered, cold to you, misunderstand you, or use you? Do you feel inadequate compared to people around you?" Followed by an engaging discussion that makes use of case studies, this book can help people change their lives by stopping the cycle of self-destruction.

User Review  - Petra - Goodreads

With a collection of different problems parts of this book really "spoke to me" while other parts did less so. However, it was an interesting book that gave me a lot of food for thought. One of those books that will be worth reading more than ones. Read full review
