What You Can Change. . . and What You Can't by Martin Seligman

What You Can Change. . . and What You Can't by Martin Seligman

SCIENCE-BASED WAYS TO CHANGE WHAT YOU WANT TO CHANGE IN YOUR LIFE There is an overwhelming amount of mis-information around about treatments for everything from alcohol abuse to weight loss. As a result, people who try to tackle their own conditions often experience the frustration of mixed success, relapse, or outright failure. To address this, internationally esteemed psychologist Martin Seligman has meticulously analyzed the most authoritative scientific research on treatments for alcoholism, anxiety, weight loss, anger, depression, and a range of phobias and obsessions to discover the most effective way to address each condition. He frankly reports what does not work, and pinpoints the techniques and therapies that work best, discussing why they work and how you can use them to change your behaviours. Inside you'll discover the four natural healing factors for recovering from alcoholism; the vital difference between overeating and being overweight and why dieters always gain back the pounds they "lost"; the four therapies that work for depression; the pros and cons of anger - and much more! Wise, direct, and very useful, this is a science-backed book that can help anyone make long-lasting change in their life.

An extraordinary blend of real scholarship, an experimental scientist's best judgement, and down-to-earth self help advice-- George E Valliant, Professor of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School
