Taming Your Gremlin by Richard David Carson

Taming Your Gremlin by Richard David Carson

This is a completely updated edition of the 1983 classic that introduced a powerful method for gaining freedom from self-defeating behaviors and beliefs. Rick Carson, creator of the renowned Gremlin-Taming(TM) Method, has revised the book to include fresh interactive activities, real-life vignettes we can all identify with, and new loathsome gremlins ripe for taming. Carson blends his laid-back style, Taoist wisdom, the Zen Theory of Change, and sound psychology in an easy-to-understand, unique, and practical system for banishing the nemesis within. Among the things you will learn are:

• Techniques for getting a sliver of light between the natural you and the monster of your mind.
• The extraordinary power of simply noticing and playing with options.
• Six keys to maintaining emotional balance amid upheaval.
