Remember the phrase "question authority"? Loving What Is is a workbook on questioning authority--but in this case, what is in question is the authority of our own fundamental beliefs about our relationships.
Known simply as "The Work," Byron Katie's methods are clean and straightforward. The basis is a series of four questions addressed to your own lists of written assumptions. Whether you're angry with your boss, frustrated with your teen's behavior, or appalled at the state of the world's environment, Katie suggests you write down your most honest thoughts on the matter, and then begin the examination. Starting with, "Is it true?" and continuing with explorations of "Who would you be without that thought?" this method allows you to get through unhelpful preconceptions and find peace. An integral part of the process is "turning the thought around," and at first this can seem like you're simply blaming yourself for everything. Push a little harder, and you'll find a very responsible acceptance of reality, beyond questions of fault and blame.
The book is filled with examples of folks applying The Work to a variety of life situations, and reading other's examples gets the idea across pretty clearly; chances are you'll find your own frustrations echoed on the pages a few times. Many chapters are divided into specific topics, such as couples, money, addictions, and self-judgments, with one chapter devoted to exploring the method with children.
Questioning your own authority is never an easy process, but it seems well worth the potential rewards--stress-free choices, peace, and affection for those closest to you. --Jill Lightner
Book Description
Out of nowhere, like a fresh breeze in a marketplace crowded with advice on what to believe, comes Byron Katie and what she calls “The Work.” In the midst of a normal life, Katie became increasingly depressed, and over a ten-year period sank further into rage, despair, and thoughts of suicide. Then one morning, she woke up in a state of absolute joy, filled with the realization of how her own suffering had ended. The freedom of that realization has never left her, and now in
Loving What Is you can discover the same freedom through The Work.
The Work is simply four questions that, when applied to a specific problem, enable you to see what is troubling you in an entirely different light. As Katie says, “It’s not the problem that causes our suffering; it’s our thinking about the problem.” Contrary to popular belief, trying to let go of a painful thought never works; instead, once we have done The Work, the thought lets go of us. At that point, we can truly love what is, just as it is.
Loving What Is will show you step-by-step, through clear and vivid examples, exactly how to use this revolutionary process for yourself. You’ll see people do The Work with Katie on a broad range of human problems, from a wife ready to leave her husband because he wants more sex, to a Manhattan worker paralyzed by fear of terrorism, to a woman suffering over a death in her family. Many people have discovered The Work’s power to solve problems; in addition, they say that through The Work they experience a sense of lasting peace and find the clarity and energy to act, even in situations that had previously seemed impossible.
If you continue to do The Work, you may discover, as many people have, that the questioning flows into every aspect of your life, effortlessly undoing the stressful thoughts that keep you from experiencing peace.
Loving What Is offers everything you need to learn and live this remarkable process, and to find happiness as what Katie calls “a lover of reality.”

"Good Lord! Where did Byron Katie come from? She's the real McCoy. Her Work is amazingly effective -- a simple, straightforward antidote to the suffering we unnecessarily create for ourselves. She asks us to believe nothing, but provides a surprisingly effective and simple way to cut through the tangle of delusions we wrap ourselves in. Just reading the exchanges in Loving What Is, I can admit things I didn't want to admit and stop torturing myself in ways I didn't realize I was doing."
DAVID CHADWICK, AUTHOR OF CROOKED CUCUMBER: THE LIFE AND ZEN TEACHING OF SHUNRYU SUZUKI
"Suppose you could find a simple way to embrace your life with joy, stop arguing with reality, and achieve serenity in the midst of chaos? That is what Loving What Is offers. It is no less than a revolutionary way to live your life. The question is: are we brave enough to accept it?"
ERICA JONG, AUTHOR OF FEAR OF FLYING
"Byron Katie's Work is a great blessing for our planet. The root cause of suffering is identification with our thoughts, the 'stories' that are continuously running through our minds. Byron Katie's Work acts like a razor-sharp sword that cuts through that illusion and enables you to know for yourself the timeless essence of your being. Joy, peace, and love emanate from it as your natural state. In Loving What Is, you have the key. Now use it."
ECKHART TOLLE, AUTHOR OF THE POWER OF NOW
"Loving What Is is filled with the essence of wisdom. Katie's Work is a wonderful, transformative practice

excellent.......2007-10-19
This book helped me to break free from so many painful beliefs and thoughts. It is like light which shines the light of consciousness on what is painful and troubling and frees you. Thanks you for this amazing book.
Has helped me move in a healthy new direction.......2007-10-03
I ran across this book in August of 2007 while visiting a friend. Instead of just flipping through it, I was having a hard time putting it down. That was an unusual thing for me -- self-help books usually annoy me, or bore me. Still skeptical, but intrigued, I checked the book out of the library, and quickly read it through.
There is nothing in this book or in her other books that I haven't heard in various forms in my life. But, for some reason, the way "the work" is presented resonated with me in a way that other presentations of the same truth did not.
I've applied these priciples to my life, and have been experiencing genuine change for the better. That may be a little weak: I want to make it clear that I'm not just experiencing minor changes, things are dramatically different in my attitude and in all of my relationships. Perhaps the fact that Ms. Katie is not a therapist, a mystic or a guru made her presentation of these concepts easier for me to understand and apply to my life.
Is the book perfect? Not in my opinion. Is Katie perfect? She doesn't seem to be. Other reviewers mentioned that Katie seems to sometimes steer people's inquiry toward her own way of thinking. I had the same thoughts myself a couple of times. But, she makes no claims to be all-knowing or anything other than exactly what she is, so those things don't bother me. Heck, I've got opinions on how just about anyone else "should" be living their lives, it's my own life that I've been ignoring. If people feel that they were "steered," then perhaps they'll go through the questions again and see if they come up with answers that work better for them.
I've blamed others (and one person in particular) for the unhappy circumstances in which I found myself. When I began applying the four questions described in this book to these feelings, I began to truly understand that I am the one responsible for where I am and the only person I can change is myself.
Things are as they are and it's up to me to make my own decisions based on those circumstances. After years of lamenting that certain people "should" behave differently, the only thing that happened was that my friends got sick of hearing me complain. Accepting things as they are, and making decisions accordingly, is making all the difference.
I don't know why the teachings in this book spoke to me so clearly when other teachings did not, but I'm grateful for it. I found this book to be life changing, and have recommended it to several friends.
Amazing...Completely Changed my Life.......2007-09-23
Thank You Katie. This is one of a few books that have had a major, major positive impact on my life. It turned me from being a high stress, anxious person, that didn't always sleep at night, to the lay back person I want to be...and with no real effort, but with a different, but simple way of looking at what is.
Loving what is - quest to change your personal computer.......2007-09-17
Imagine you are the creator of the most elegant and sophisticated personal computer (something like an Apple's iPod).
Now imagine that when you have created your machine you made some of the mistakes and you
a) Desire to fix them or
b) Desire to undo them or
c) Desire to redesign it.
Katie Byron gives you simplest technique, where you as a creator can
a) Fix your machine - your personal thoughts,
b) Undo your mistakes,
c) Redesign yourself. Ultimately building a perfect machine - just like your Creator wanted you to be.
If you do not believe in the Creator "nonsense" and think that you just came from the outer space bacteria and mutated into a human being in the last 16 billion years, then you can use Katie's book to create a best bacteria out of yourself from scratch and undo 16 billion years of possible mistakes.
Great book, happy reading, and ultimately happy re-wiring
More powerful than you might think.......2007-09-15
This is a super book. What I realized after reading it is that its real power is manifested through the way one sees the world after doing "The Work" described in it. When we accept what is, our very own and personally experienced perception of our issues (e.g. conflicts with people, situations, etc.) actually changes. Simply stated, we learn to see things for how they really are versus seeing them as we have embedded them in the ego-invested stories we tell ourselves about those conflicts/situations. Essentially, as we learn to do "The Work" our stories get lovingly stripped down to what actually is versus what our ego would have us believe they are. When we change how we think, we change how we interact with the world and it naturally follows that how we experience the world then changes as well, all in wonderfully positive and profound ways. It doesn't happen all at once; after all, many of those who do "The Work" are well into adulthood with fully defended egos. For those who come from dysfunctional backgrounds, "The Work" helps us face how that dysfunction is hindering us and gives us powerful tools to eliminate it. Excellent book recommended to me by a trusted, wonderful professional.

The Bipolar Workbook: Tools for Controlling Your Mood Swings
ASIN: 1572305258 |
Book Description
Thanks to sharper diagnosis and better medicine, the future is brighter for people with bipolar disorder than in past generations. But if you or someone you love is struggling with the frantic highs and crushing lows of this illness, there are still many hurdles to surmount at home, at work, and in daily life.
*How can you learn to distinguish between the early warning signs of mood swings and the normal ups and downs of life?
*What medications are available, and what are their side effects?
*What should you do when you find yourself escalating into mania or descending into depression?
*How can you get the help and support you need from family members and friends?
*How can you tell your coworkers about your illness without endangering your career?
In this comprehensive guide, Dr. David J. Miklowitz offers straight talk that can help you tackle these and related questions, take charge of your illness, and reclaim your life. A leading researcher and clinical specialist who knows what works, Dr. Miklowitz supplies proven tools to help you achieve balance--and free yourself from the emotional and financial havoc that result when symptoms rule your life--without sacrificing your right to rich and varied emotional experiences.
This essential resource will help you and your family members come to terms with the diagnosis, recognize early warning signs of manic or depressive episodes, cope with triggers of mood swings, resolve medication problems, and learn to collaborate effectively with doctors and therapists. You'll learn specific ways to ask for support and help from your family and friends--and what to do when their "caring" feels like "controlling." For times when the going gets tough, a wealth of examples of how others have dealt with similar challenges offer new perspectives and new solutions.
Whether you have recently been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, are considering seeking help for the first time, or have been in treatment for years, this empowering book is designed to help put you--not your illness--back in charge of your life.
Customer Reviews:
a must have for all with bipolar.......2007-10-06
This book is packed with very helpful information for both the person with the disorder and the family members. Excellent coverage of not only what bipolar is, but the what bipolar looks like to you, your doctor and your family is wonderful. I know people thought I was just being extravagant, but now, reading this, they know I couldn't stop myself, and that at the time, it made perfect sense to me.
Insightful and in plain English for those of us without medical degrees, this book has helped both me and my family in numerous ways. I hope everyone with bipolar disorder gets their hands on a copy and studies it with family and friends, it truly is a great resource.
Not the Best.......2007-08-28
Not the best bipolar book out there. You need the most current information. Taming Bipolar, by Psychology Today was more resourceful.
Psychology Today: Taming Bipolar Disorder Still, there are other bipolar books more current than this one.
Also, Why Am I Still Depressed? Recognizing and Managing the Ups and Downs of Bipolar II and Soft Bipolar Disorder is absolutely wonderful for understanding Mood Spectrum Disorders.

This book looks at bipolar disorder from the medical point of view. If you suffer from bipolar disorder you should get this book. Period.
informative.......2007-07-15
This book is a good starting point if someone you care about has been affected with bipolar disorder. It provides a good foundation for speaking with doctors and understanding the importance of medication. The book has served as a way of getting straight-forward facts and legitimate support during this difficult process.

Julie Fast and John Preston have written a ground breaking book for couples who want to prevent manic depressive disorder from hijacking their relationship. Fast, a health writer diagnosed with bipolar illness and clinical psychologist Preston are ideal companions. Their innovative ideas will be welcomed by exhausted partners of "bipolar individuals"--whose illness can cause them to alternate between manic and depressed behavior. Once medication has been prescribed, the key is studying the specific ways your partner is effected. This allows couples to develop pro-active strategies for treating and stabilizing mood swings and symptoms, before they develop into full-blown crises. The techniques emphasize prevention, rather than putting out fires. These include understanding the difference between the person and the disease (know when "the bipolar disorder is talking") listing your partner's specific symptoms, identifying the triggers that lead to these symptoms and transforming the "bipolar conversation" The goal of all the tools is to pinpoint early warning signs of a manic or depressive episode and be prepared with a holistic treatment plan. Other segments of the book deal with the work (checkered resumes) and financial problems (spending sprees) created by this illness. The author's ideas are engaging, compassionate and realistic--an oasis of relief and hope. --Barbara Mackoff
Book Description
When a person loves someone with bipolar disorder, life can be very stressful. From medication troubles to a partner's mood swings the demands on a partner can be intense. Loving Someone with Bipolar Disorder takes a unique and practical approach to these issues.
Written by an author who has bipolar disorder (and who lived with a partner who also has bipolar disorder) and a coauthor with over ten books on the topic of mental illness, the book offers specific, practical and realistic tips on how a couple can work together as a team to create a treatment plan that teaches them to live with the illness while still maintaining a loving and joyful relationship. (Though this book is written for couples, friends and family members can use the techniques in the book as well.)
Loving Someone with Bipolar Disorder provides hope and encourages couples to work together to create a plan they can use to help stabilize bipolar disorder so that their relationship can focus on love and companionship instead of the illness. Chapters include ideas on how to create a comprehensive treatment plan that incorporates medications and supplements, diet, exercise and behavior and lifestyle changes into one practical approach to this very serious illness. The partner of a person with bipolar disorder learns about communicating with their partner when they're ill, getting real about the situation and how to take on other roles in healing besides caretaking. Other specific topics include work and money, emotions, sexual issues and much more. The goal of the book is to help couples create a relationship that is based on support and prevention instead of constant crisis control.

Loving Someone With Bipolar Disorder.......2007-08-23
I found this book to provide direct information about Bi-polar disorder. The writers don't hold anything back. Bi-polar disorder is very destructive and can devastate a family. I feel the writer's offers practical help if one is committed to a relationship with someone that suffers from Bi-polar disorder.
Loving someone with bipolar disorder.......2007-08-15
I was very disappointed in this book. It did very little to make me feel hopeful about my relationship with someone who suffers from bipolar. It places all the responsibility of avoiding triggers on the healthy spouse. The person with bipolar has no responsibility in monitoring behaviors, medications, physical, or emotional health. It sends a very unhealthy message. I believe that ultimately it is up to the person with bipolar to manage the disease with the help of a well-informed doctor, loving and understanding family members, and loyal, supportive friends.
Something lacking.......2007-07-21
I was very excited for this book, I was really seeking out an all-encompasing book on the topic for my loved ones. After reading this book, not one of my loved ones will ever see this book, unless of course they seek it out and purchase it themselves. I think this book casts people with Bipolar in a very negative light. Instead of being useful and instilling hope, I found it to be depressing and very limiting. I feel you should give your loved ones a really good idea of what it means to be bipolar, but it should be cast in a positive light, not a negative one.
Superb Book.......2007-07-20
Everyone in a relationship with someone who suffers from bipolar disorder will benefit from reading this book. Period.
Going a long way to understanding bipolar.......2007-07-15
I found this book an extremely useful tool/insight into the world of bipolar. The practical tips given can go along way into eliminating some of the chaos that bipolar can create within the sufferer and those who love them. While nothing is a cure all, these helpful hints can create dialogue between the people involved and a deeper understanding. It is written in a gentle and constructive way for carers who may find it difficult to crawl into the mind of the person they love and understand that certain behaviours are not coming from a rational space. As it is often hard to know what practical things to do with an irrational disorder "Loving Someone With Bipolare Disorder" is an excellent place to start and gives hope for brighter more in control future. The book is useful also for the bipolar sufferer to understand what the disorder can do to those they love and the importance of taking their "triggers", "symptoms" and "what works" for them seriously. I really enjoyed this book and would recommend to anyone needing to understand bipolar better.

Book Description
Tried everything but still not feeling better?
If your depression keeps coming back or is even getting worse, then you may be suffering from bipolar II or “soft” bipolar disorder. Commonly misdiagnosed, these mood disorders are characterized by recurring bouts of depression along with anxiety, irritability, mood swings, sleep problems, or intrusive thoughts.
Why Am I Still Depressed? shows you how to identify if you have a nonmanic form of bipolar disorder and how to work with your doctor to safely and effectively treat it.
Author James R. Phelps, M.D., gives you the latest tools and knowledge so you can:
- Understand the Mood Spectrum, a powerful new tool for diagnosis
- Know all your treatment options, including mood-stabilizing medications and research-tested psychotherapies
- Examine the potential hazards of taking antidepressant medications
- Manage your condition with exercise and lifestyle changes
- Help family and friends with this condition understand their diagnosis and find treatment
Customer Reviews:
helpful and readable.......2007-10-10
I found this book to be easily readable, and yet full of very important information. Dr. Phelps writes clearly and concisely. Clearly, he is concernced that people get the help they need and the RIGHT help. His book is a very big step in the right direction of proper care and proper understanding.
Finally a book for me and my family!.......2007-08-24
I read this book at the suggestion of my doctor, who is a genius with bipolar 2. It addressed many of my concerns, misconceptions, and questions in a very reader-friendly way. It's a relatively easy read, considering the subject matter. Dr. Phelps has written in a comprehensive way about this often misunderstood subject, and he managed to make me laugh along the way. After my husband read it, he said he had a much better understanding of the way bipolar 2 works. Don't let the word "bipolar" scare you! I was misdiagnosed for most of my life because I never had "highs." Please read this book if you are not sure you have been diagnosed correctly or if your treatment is not working for you. I hope you will find it as helpful as I have.
Worth it.......2007-07-21
This was the first book my psych recommended when we first began toying around with the idea of Bipolar II vs. Major Depressive Disorder. It is an amazing book, especially for those people who just can't seem to shake their depression. Not every person who has treatment-resistant depression is bipolar, but this book helps delve into the topic. I have over 20 books about Bipolar II, and this is in my top 5.
Important read if you've been unsuccessfully treated for depression..........2007-07-20
My doctor suggested this book as good reading to familiarize myself with the various treatments for depression. Perhaps his recommendation was off, but clearly, this book IS about bipolar disorders. While I didn't gain much for myself, it did open my eyes about someone close to me and why various treatments have failed to improve that situation.
Phelps is very good with helping the layreader understand neuro/psyche disorders that are classified as depression and/or bipolar disorder. He gets a little 'out there' as far as splitting hairs; I concluded that most of the population, according to Phelps, must have some degree of mood disorder. But, I DO strongly recommend this book for anyone who has been diagnosed with depression but failed to respond to the many good medications developed to treat common depression. Phelps also offers a very good explanation as to why some anti-depressants have caused suicidal thoughts/actions in some. Very likely, they have bipoar disorder and the type of chemical support provided by this class of drug was just wrong.
If you've struggled with "depression" and its related treatments, trust your doctor and can take the time to read this book, you might find you don't really have depression, after all. Bipolar disorder and it's cousins are more common in society than we know. There are excellent drug and cognitive therapies available to help people who haven't been able to find the light at the end of their tunnel. Possible a different diagnosis will help them.
Nothing New In Spite of Title.......2007-06-12
If you're already diagnosed bipolar 2, you're better off getting The Bipolar Workbook or a better basic bipolar book than this. So much of it is directed at people who don't even know if they have bipolar 2 or soft bipolar disorder, it was a total waste of my money because I KNOW I have bipolar 2. The section on treatments doesn't cover some of the best medications I have experienced, gives the same old "walk" exercise advice, and has many chapters based on ruling out bipolar altogether. I think the author just wanted to say he wrote something new, when this is really a long-winded rehash on what we already know if we are already diagnosed correctly. I was terribly disappointed as I thought there would be some helpful, new information on treatments just for us with bipolar 2 that is different from bipolar 1. Boring.
Book Description
Using the vivid, poignant and personal stories of the members of a website support group she founded (www.depressionfallout.com), Anne Sheffield, the author of two highly acclaimed books on depression, provides an honest record of what happens to a love relationship once depression enters the picture, and offers solid advice on what the non–depressed partner can do to improve his or her own life and the relationship.
Of the millions of people who suffer from a depressive illness, few suffer in solitude. They draw the people they love – spouses, parents, children, lovers, friends – into their illness. In her first book, How You Can Survive When They're Depressed, Anne Sheffield coined the phrase 'depression fallout' to describe the emotional toll on the depressive's family and close friends who are unaware of their own stressful reactions and needs. She outlined the five stages of depression fallout (confusion, self–doubt, demoralisation, anger, and the need to escape) and explained that these reactions are a natural result of living with a depressed person.
Customer Reviews:
disappointed--not what I expected.......2007-08-23
While the author's stages of depression that a couple goes through seemed to be pretty accurate, I was very disappointed by the overall tone of the book. It seemed to me that she basically advocated that the non-depressed partner leave in just about all situations.
I recently went through an injury which took over 3 months to heal, and during that time, my partner and I went through the stages as described. That's why I was excited about getting this book for both of us to read, so that we could understand why I was depressed and why he was feeling the way he was feeling about our relationship. Instead, the book advocates eventually giving up on the relationship and getting out.
Needless to say, my partner didn't need to read that! It didn't really offer any advice about how to work your way back to what you had before the depression-causing event, so I'm giving this a big thumbs down.
Wonderful.......2007-06-27
This book is a godsend. I thought I was having a breakdown until I read this book. I learned that my symptoms were being caused by the depressed person in my life. This book explains how your depression fallout mirrors the depressed person's own illness. You get dragged along for the ride (so to speak). If you are having difficulty in a relationship due to depression, you must read this book.
Unbelievably Misguided.......2007-01-15
I purchased this book for my husband who over the course of our marriage has experienced the challenges and set backs of my depression. I was not depressed when we married and was not aware of the numerous family members who suffer from depression because it wasn't talked about. I read the book first and find it difficult to believe that someone who claims to suffer from depression could have written it. This book seems much more accusatory and places a great deal of blame on the depressed person without any sign of empathy at all.
Depression is not a choice. It is a debilitating illness. The stigma of depression needs to be removed so that families like mine and millions of others are not ashamed to talk about it. I am not ashamed of my depression because I know it is not my fault but many people are and that keeps them from getting the help they need.
It is difficult for any person to live with someone who is depressed and I admire those who do. But the accusations and criticisms made in this book lead me to believe the author has unresolved anger toward that person in her life that was depressed. I think this book is terribly misguided and will unfortunately do more harm than good. I believe there must be better, more objective references out there for the spouses and loved ones of those suffering from depression.
Extraordinary read!.......2007-01-12
As one who has been or is suffering from the fallout of depression, I can say without a doubt this is the best book I have read and I've read quite a few. It involves not only the depressed person, but speaks to the loved ones who are in agony and turmoil right along with the depressed person. I have read this book more than once and go back to various chapters from time to time. I most highly recommend this book to anyone who thinks they are a victim of "depression fallout"!
Amazing, calming resource.......2006-08-13
I wish I had read this book a long time ago, when my boyfriend's depression started. The information is pertinent and it gives tangible advice on what tp do for yourself and your depressed partner.

The same brain chemicals that are altered by antidepressant drugs are also affected by the foods we eat. According to addiction expert DesMaisons, many people, including those who are depressed, are "sugar sensitive." Eating sweets gives them a temporary emotional boost, which leads to a craving for still more sweets. The best way to keep these brain chemicals in the right balance and keep blood-sugar levels steady, she says, is through the dietary plan she describes in Potatoes Not Prozac. Her rules are fairly simple--eat three meals a day, eat proteins with every meal (especially those high in the amino acid tryptophan, which creates the calming neurotransmitter serotonin), and eat more complex carbohydrates, such as whole grains and, yes, potatoes. Not only will this make you less depressed, DesMaisons says, but it will also keep you from craving too much of the foods you shouldn't eat, making it a self-regulating system.
Book Description
Are You Sugar Sensitive?
Have you ever wondered why you just can't seem to say no to fattening foods, alcohol or troubling behaviors like overspending and overworking? The answer is not that you're lazy, self-indulgent or undisciplined. The problem lies in your body chemistry.
In her groundbreaking book, Potatoes Not Prozac, Kathleen DesMaisons, Ph.D., addictive nutrition expert, reveals that emotional troubles such as mood swings or depression often can't be fought by medication. Her radical new way of finding and maintaining mental and physical health offers instead a prescription for altering our eating habits. Millions of people are sugar-sensitive -- which means they have a special body chemistry that reacts in extreme ways to sugar and refined carbohydrates like white bread and pasta. DesMaisons reveals that these "comfort" foods actually provide just the opposite effect, triggering feelings of exhaustion, hopelessness and low self-esteem. What's worse, these foods don't stop our cravings for them -- they only make us want to go back for more.
Helping us to free ourselves from sugar dependency, DesMaisons explains how certain food dependent chemicals in the brain regulate our moods. Once we understand how these biochemicals react to what we eat -- or what we don't eat -- we are free to control our lives. Serotonin, beta-endorphins and blood sugar need to be kept in balance. We can achieve this balance by following DesMaisons's inexpensive, all-natural nutritional plan, which has resulted in a 92 percent success rate with recovering alcoholics, and emotional stability for the thousands of people she has treated in her practice.
In addition to food charts, questionnaires to determine your own sugar sensitivity, and accessible scientific lessons that explain your body chemistry, DesMaisons provides a straightforward seven-step plan to overcome your addictions. There is no regime of measurements or self-denial: you tailor the plan to your tastes and lifestyle. These steps are actually more liberating than any diet could be. You will no longer settle for the short-term relief from pain or problems that cookies or ice cream might give you. You will find the optimism, energy and high self-esteem you have craved for so long. Because DesMaisons is committed to her own recovery, she is a compassionate, skilled guide in navigating you through this process, one choice at a time. And what you learn in the end, she says, is that the process isn't about food at all. "As we come into balance, we can shape our own direction rather than being driven by biochemical circumstances. We feel empowered to make changes in our lives and to control what is happening to us. What seemed like a story about food is really a story about possibility." You can change your life with Potatoes Not Prozac.

buy the more recent book.......2007-07-31
The info is great, the book is great, but there's more info in the more recent books.
Odd.......2007-07-02
There are some things that trouble me about this book, like push snacking to mealtime. Hum... and her idea of snacks is what sparks the whole sugar sensitivity process. I like Suzann Somers' book is better; she explains the carbs. This book just tells you to keep track of what you eat, when you eat and how you feel after eating whatever it is you eat. I think you should watch what you eat and you should know what you're eating. This book makes very few explanations about what each food is and how it helps your mind, except by saying eat protein and don't eat refined sugar.
Prescribe Your Own Anti-Depressants and Improve Your Life.......2007-03-15
This book and Natural Prozac changed how I look at food. In our sugar and caffiene addicted world where food is a commodity to be inhaled on the run, it's easy to lose perspective on what food is and how it affects us. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to balance their mood, improve how they feel and function during the day or stablize their sleeping habits.
Timeless Advice!.......2007-03-04
I read this just recently, long after it came out, but after following it for a month, I have more energy, I'm not stuck in that numbing lethargy that was a sort of depression, and I've lost a little weight. This book is right on, and I highly recommend it.
I'm FAT and miserable but not craving sugar.... Woopie.........2007-02-12
I am addicted to sugar. I read this book and kept a journal of my eating habits. I stopped craving sugar, but now I'm fat. I've gone from my slender size 2-4 to a plump size 6 pushing size 8. There has to be a better way... I've got a Michelin tire around my waste that waddles when I walk... I think I need some alcohol to feel better. HA!

In this age of do-it-yourself health care (heck, if the doctor only sees you for 10 minutes each visit, what other options are there?), Change Your Brain, Change Your Life fits in perfectly. Filled with "brain prescriptions" (among them cognitive exercises and nutritional advice) that are geared toward readers who've experienced anxiety, depression, impulsiveness, excessive anger or worry, and obsessive behavior, Change Your Brain, Change Your Life milks the mind-body connection for all it's worth.
Written by a psychiatrist and neuroscientist who has also authored a book on attention deficit disorder, Change Your Brain contains dozens of brain scans of patients with various neurological problems, from caffeine, nicotine, and heroin addiction to manic-depression to epilepsy. These scans, often showing large gaps in neurological activity or areas of extreme overactivity, are downright frightening to look at, and Dr. Amen should know better than to resort to such scare tactics. But he should also be commended for advocating natural remedies, including deep breathing, guided imagery, meditation, self-hypnosis, and biofeedback for treating disorders that are so frequently dealt with by prescription only.
Book Description
BRAIN PRESCRIPTIONS THAT REALLY WORK
In this breakthrough bestseller, you'll see scientific evidence that your anxiety, depression, anger, obsessiveness, or impulsiveness could be related to how specific structures in your brain work. You're not stuck with the brain you're born with. Here are just a few of neuropsychiatrist Dr. Daniel Amen's surprising--and effective--"brain prescriptions" that can help heal your brain and change your life:
To Quell Anxiety and Panic:

To Stop Obsessive Worrying:

Worth Reading.......2007-09-24
After reading this book, I tried some of the prescriptions which seemed to fit me. They do work if you are serious about doing them. Reading this book has made a difference in my emotional health.
"Brain Overclaim Syndrome".......2007-09-05
There is precious little solid science here. Amen would seem to be suffering from "Brain Overclaim Syndrome" -- a term coined by Prof. Stephen J. Morse -- where people read much more into brain imaging than is warrented, simply because they have, well...have impressive images to show their clients.
Actually, it would appear impossible to say much about the behavior of any particular individual based on brain imaging, because the research to date has shown there to be substantial overlap in the results between controls and experimental subjects. Diagnosing by imaging at this point may have more to do with reading tea leaves than it does with science.
Informative, provocative and sometimes controversial..........2007-07-31
I admire Dr. Amen's ability to explain the complex interworkings and relationships between different parts of the brain. I also appreciate his ability to relate these concepts to practical everyday problems and common psychological pathologies such as anxiety, ADD and depression. He even talks about some case study information on relationship dynamics.
While Amen is a controversial figure in some ways, he still has much to stay about keeping your brain healthy and he has the credentials and clinical experience to go along with fact that he has scanned more brains than anyone else. This does not make him infallible, but it certainly makes him an important player in pushing the frontiers of knowledge forward. On the other hand, he seems to have a bias toward SPECT scans that is not fully warranted based on other scientist and clinician's work. It's difficult to reduce the functioning of the brain to an in the moment scan or even multiple scans over time.
Suprisingly, this book is very readable for the average layman and equally fascinating. It has a number of quizzes and checklists for determining the strength of functioning of various areas of the brain and useful supplement suggestions. While this book is about 10 years old, it certainly contains lots of useful information. If you want an updated version of this, then I recommend his other book Making a Good Brain Great: The Amen Clinic Program for Achieving and Sustaining Optimal Mental Performance. This book is aimed less at pathology and more about what you can do to improve and take care of your brain in general. While not brain specific, Andrew Weil's book Healthy Aging: A Lifelong Guide to Your Well-Being is a nice compliment to both of these books and focuses on the health of the entire body.
Helpful for Neurofeedback Practioners and Clients.......2007-07-13
I have found this book to be a great resource for me as a neurofeedback clinician, both for my own use and my clients'. It's easy to read, has lots of SPECT images to reference, and provides helpful checklists for various behaviors associated with problems in different brain regions. Dr. Amen is a rarity in the psychiatric profession in that he's open to looking outside the box and being open to various treatment methods beyond simply writing prescriptions. While he does discuss the benefits of medication a lot in this book, he also mentions neurofeedback training several times as well and provides many cognitive behavioral techniques to aid with various issues.
Fascinating Science.......2007-06-09
Most books on this subject are very dry and clinical. Daniel Amen inserts some humor into this very serious subject. I have read articles about Daniel Amen saying he is a quack simply because other professionals have not adopted his mantra that mental health issues are caused by physical problems in the brain. Change Your Brain Change Your Life identifies the component parts of the brain and maladies caused by overactive or under active functioning of the component parts. Dr. Amen prescribes remedies from diet changes to cognitive therapy to psychotropic drug therapy in an informative, thought provoking, easy to read format. This book is an enlightening account of the brain and its functions.

bipolar info.......2007-09-29
A very good book for those who have bipolar disorder and for the friends and family members of those with bipolar disorder as well. A well written book with lots of workbook pages.
The best I've read.......2007-08-23
As a parent of a bipolarII, I have read a number of books on the subject in order to find ways in which we family members could be of help. This is by far the best of them. It is clearly organized and written, incorporating a workbook which the bipolar person can use to individualize his/her management of the disease, and lots of wonderful support for families. Julie Fast (the author) is bipolar and knows whereof she speaks!
Very Helpful!.......2007-07-11
I had also bought another bipolar disorder workbook, and this one is definately my favorite of the two. This one addresses both Bipolar I and II, whereas the other one acted like Bipolar II didn't even exist! This one also seems more comprehensive, dealing with diet, and supplements and other things that are helpful to bipolar patients.
At last a book that explains in layman's terms........2007-05-30
This book is clear and concise and tells it like it is. I originally borrowed it from the library and was immediately impressed. So many Doctors have written books on mental health conditions including Bipolar Disorder but unless one has the condition one cannot really understand what it can be like. The help that it will give to not only the person with Bipolar, but also friends and family is tremendous. Thanks Julie, keep up the good work.
Great book!.......2007-04-11
This is a great book for those who suffer from bipolar illness and their friends and family. Actually, it is a workbook that encourages the bipolar person to write down, for instance, what their bipolar triggers are and then to share these triggers with family and friends so that they can recognize and call them to the bipolar person's attention in a helpful way. Julie coaches friends and family members on how to communicate appropriaately rather than reacting to the bipolar person.
I would strongly encourage people suffering from bipolar illness and their friends and family members to purchase a copy of this book by Julie Fast.

I can't get over it : A Handbook for Trauma Survivors.......2007-03-09
Wonderful book! I find it a very helpful book! I am using the book as part of my therapy with my therapist. The book explains alot to me the questions that I had about myself after being raped. I recommend the book to persons who needs to overcome trauma.
Very good book for Understanding PTSD.......2006-03-17
This is the first book I attempted to read after being diagnosed with PTSD. It helped me understand my unexplainable behavior and symtoms and helped me come to terms that I was not "crazy, as perceived, but simply having a normal reaction to an abnormal trauma. I would love to meet the author sometime. I HIGHLY recommenend this book.
Good, but not great.......2006-01-30
I liked a lot of the insight this book had to offer. I don't like the promise that the reader can diagnose themselves by answering a few questions. A person doesn't need a diagnosis to know what they are going through, and they should not be diagnosing themselves anyway- for obvious reasons.
Good book, but the POST TSD SOURCEBOOK BY GLEN SCHRALDI.......2005-08-31
IS MUCH BEETER. This book discusses what PTSD is, but not how to treat it like the (PTSD) sourcebook does.
Great text.......2005-08-23
I counsel trauma survivors every day of the week and this is an excellent text. It has depth and practical advice. On the basis of this work I have purhased another by the same author.
Book Description
Six years ago, John McManamy, a successful financial journalist with a law degree, was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Through his successful website and newletter, he has turned his struggles into a lifelong dedication to helping others struggling with depression and biopolar disorder reclaim their lives. In this book he will share his own experiences and struggles and the struggles of his fellow patients, while offering a guide to making the most out of life with these challenging disorders. Like the other successful titles in our Living Well series, this book will offer a holistic approach to battling depression and BD, including everything from diagnosis to associated illnesses and symptoms to medication and talk therapy and even what to expect and how to cope with the effects these disorders have on relationships and sex.
Most importantly, McManamy writes with a compassionate and eloquent voice, describing his belief that depression is a wide spectrum that reaches from occasional bouts of depression to full–fledged bipolar disorder. This will be the first book to help patients recognize the diversity of their disorder, while offering wide–ranging solutions to keeping their lives in order and living well.
Customer Reviews:
What makes this book fantastic..........2007-08-19
...is that instead of accommodating you to your illness, it hands you tools and a mission: REMISSION IS THE GOAL. Where other books hold your hand and tell you to use your tools, this one evaluates each tool so that you can use your intelligence and experience to choose what to use. After I read this book I saw pharmacalogical psychiatry in a whole new way: instead of drifting from drug to drug, I am deploying the ones that work best for me. I decide what side effects are OK. I decide whether to try a new drug. The doctor's opinion plays an important role, but I get better results when I carefully and conscientiously follow my instincts.
This book is filled with things I might deploy, from lifestyle and diet tinkering to medicine. And the goal of all this is to drive my illness into full and complete remission. After reading this book I am doing better than I have in a long time.
Don't miss the advice about taking your mood temperature frequently, as opposed to waiting for the symptoms to begin. Intercepting changing moods before they gain momentum is extremely important.
Take a giant step ahead from the patronizing how-to books out there and the currently fashionable medicines, and understand what's new and what's happening in depression and bipolar. Some readers will find a few chapters heavy with science, and decide to skip to the main points, but those who want to know how this disease is being fought and conquered will find it far ahead of other volumes. Oh, I'm sure there are some other good books on bipolar out there, but if you're ready to change your entire perspective on your illness for the better, give this one a try. It may not change your life as dramatically and rapidly as it did mine, but I defy anyone with bipolar illness to argue that this book isn't full of the most potent information available between two covers.
For those who are also ill, my best wishes for your recovery, and remember, THINK REMISSION, not treatment of symptoms.
From One who Lives this Every Day.......2007-08-14
It took many years and many medications for depression before my doctor finally diagnosed me with Bipolar Disorder. The first book I bought and read was John Mcmanamy's "Living Well with Depression and Bipolar Disorder - "
I couldn't put it down as so many pages were "me". My husband read it with much interest, and said it helped him to understand events of the past and how we might both deal with this problem together in the future.
I highly recommend this book.
Holistically Awesome!.......2007-07-21
Before reading this book, I had alredy read at least 5-7 books on the topic. This book is the most holistic book I have ever read on the topic. It covers everything, and it is written in a very down-to-earth manner. It is a book with ideas and concepts that almost anybody with bipolar II can relate too. I have almost 20 books on this subject, and this is MY NUMBER 1!!! It is not only beneficial to the person suffering from this illness, but amazingly wholesome and complete for anybody wanting to understand more about this illness in a loved one.
Well done!.......2007-07-12
I have not finished the book, but the information I have obtained has been very helpful.
Living Well with Depression and Bipolar Disorder.......2007-03-09
This is a great book for those suffering from a mood disorder..the most common, and in many ways,most complex type of mental illness. John McNanamy, whom I have met personally, uses illustrations from his past and present, and anecdotes from visitors to his award-winning website to explain what mood disorders are, and how to effectively treat and manage them. He backs his points up with the latest clinical data and findings, and the book is highly readable for those with, and without the illness.
