Redirect by Timothy Wilson
A problem shared is a problem halved? Not necessarily... Talking about our problems isn't always a good idea. This title reveals how this, and many other conventional therapies and interventions, can often do us more harm than good. It argues that the key to transforming our lives lies simply in learning to redirect the stories we tell ourselves.
