A-maz-ing Just A1. This book is the tops!January 31, 2008 Ari - To grow is to live 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This complete and utter gift of a book and and it's companion "The Power of Self Coaching" have changed my life. For better! Say goodbye to insecurity and self doubt! With this and his his earlier book I felt directed by a master of helping people reach their real potential. Luciani helped me blast away issues such as exaggerating difficulties, self sabotage, procrastination and time wasting. Luciani compassionately understands that one's issues might be rooted in painful childhood experiences but thinks that painful emotional archaelogy rarely achieves much. Instead he has a simple easy approach that is enjoyable to read. Luciani showed me that in place of fear I have courage and resolve. Luciani focused me and through his books enthusiastically pep talked me into running after and realising my dreams.
PS For those who like therapy. You don't need to consult Luciani - he would say this himself I think - excepting very serious psychological conditions - all the therapy an ordinary basically normal person needs is bottled in these amazing books.
Anxiety...Panic Attacks...Depression? Read on!July 13, 2004 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
After my uncle, with whom I was very close, took his own life about 3 months ago, my life become almost unbearable. Anxiety, panic attacks, depression, re-occuring thoughts of very bad things, driving my wife crazy, you name it.
Started to see a shrink, and use SSRI's. It was helping but not going the distance. This book helped bridge the gap. Not only did it help me understand what was happening, but also how to get past the underlying issues and deal with the symptoms. My shrink thought it was a good idea, too...PhD in psychology, not MD.
My advice: Do exactly as he suggests. Get a journal, document, name your Inner Child (you'll see) etc... It was odd and a bit scarey at first. I can not stress it enough. If you're going through the same terrifying BS I encountered, this is a must read!
To the point and with depthMay 5, 2004 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
If you suffer from depression or anxiety this is the best book. Undoing Depression by Richard O'Connor would be the second book you'd buy. Luciani has a Phd and has over twenty five years of experience. He has excellent communications skills; he doesn't waste time on meaningless or fancy words. The exercises are very helpful; there are screening and treatment exercises. It is a fast read with depth, a rarity. The skills you acquire from this book are life lasting.
Stop worrying without the guilt!April 21, 2004 Judy(Yuba City, Ca. United States) My daughter was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor. How could I not feel depressed, anxious and worried? I knew that my worry and anxiety was becoming a habit. I found that I actually felt guilty if I was not worrying! I was afraid that by not worrying, it was an indication that I didn't care what happened to my daughter. I found that I was caught up in a spiral of ongoing negativity. I was becoming the victim of my own thinking. Self-Coaching taught me the difference between circumstance-driven anxiety (that which is unavoidable) and insecurity-driven (that which is avoidable). When I began to address the other areas in my life (my insecurities) I was able to stop adding needless anxiety and rumination to my burden. Self-Coaching has given me the confidence, I need, to handle my insecurities, fears and anxieties. Dr. Luciani's book has truly been a God-send to me!
Look No Further than to Dr. Luciani.March 18, 2004 K.D. Nielsen(Salt Lake City) Thank you Dr. Luciani for your insightful book. I've been struggling with Anxiety and Panic since I was 8. I'm now 41. Of all of the books I've read and all of the doctors I've seen, your "theory" is the one I KNOW to be the truth! You have laid out the roadmap from A to Z. I feel like buying an extra copy and putting it in a safe place just in case if something happens to this one! Thank you for your wisdom and understanding. It's invaluable!
