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.

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!

Maybe 1993, I met Dr. Seligman at ELPC ('The Cathedral Of Hope') in Pittsburgh. Impressive.
I had another (paper) copy of this book...but misplaced it.
Much said herein agrees with my personal, lived experience--a sure-fire way to get my attention.
The whole business of "change" seems to me THE vital issue for America: we've got to stop doing all the crazy things to which we've become addicted. Gasoline, booze, boobs, cigarettes, dope, adrenaline, debt, food, caffeine, sugar, salt --these are all simply variations on a theme.
Seligman, too, knows this. It shows.
