Description

ReviewEsser has been practicing psychiatry for over 40 years, specializing primarily in narcotics abuse and its treatment. This guide to overcoming addictions, depression and negativity focuses on the most destructive feelings we experience (rage, panic, violence, hopelessness and self-destructiveness) and how we can overcome them by seeing the value of positive “spheres of living” such as love, friendship, learning, work, idealism and leisure. Written for general audiences, this book also addresses the stress surrounding psychiatric care, and how prospective patients should think beyond limiting concepts such as mental illness. –BOOK NEWS, Inc.Product DescriptionOptimistic and easy to read, this book gives practical new insights into how to get the best out of living and how to cope with the worst.The author sets out six key elements of the severest desperation that people can experience: rage, panic, violence, hopelessness, and self-destructiveness. The central problem of living, he shows, concerns the need to turn those elements of desperation into their corresponding aspects of vitality. The book sets out six sliding scales that connect craziness with creativity, rage with courage, panic with initiative, and other positive mechanisms that can be harnessed to bring self fulfillment.With a focus on the fundamental spheres of living: loving, friendship, learning, work, idealism and leisure life, the author makes clear what is the true value that can be gathered in each sphere, what makes things go terribly wrong in each sphere, and how one can deal effectively with such difficulty.P.S.
