Straight Talking
Straight Talking - The 6 Common Issues Behind Every Dilemma - And What You Can Do to Overcome Them
Publisher: Piatkus Books (March 2008)
Levels of anxiety and depression are on the rise. If you have ever felt surrounded by people and yet alone, or overwhelmed by guidance and yet unable to solve your own problems, then this is the book for you. Linda Blair is a clinical psychologist with a busy practice. She reveals that, whatever their particular problem, the people who come to her always talk about the same issues. "Straight Talking" identifies the 6 core issues that Linda Blair believes underlie modern angst and then offers simple, practical ways to help you to regain stability and find a more satisfying direction in life. These core issues are: helplessness and our growing need for an 'expert' to help us; anxiety and our inability to change those things we can't run away from; impermanence and difficulty we now have setting goals and searching for direction; information overload and the problem of increased choice; aloneness and lack of self esteem; and, ageing, the pressure to stay young, and loss. Whatever psychological dilemmas you may be facing, Linda Blair uses helpful examples and draws on case histories to enable you to recognise the underlying issues, learn how to deal with them and start to manage your own life more effectively. Her "Straight Talking" style is accessible, positive, down-to-earth, and easy to relate to.
