Be positive
Are you your own greatest critic? Have you ever thought that if people knew the real you, they would think less of you? Do you think that nobody — not even you — is on your side? If this sounds familiar, it is time to take a fresh look at the most important relationship of all: your relationship with yourself.
In this thought-provoking book, therapist Andrew G. Marshall draws on 25 years of experience to explain why old pains can cast a shadow on today and how to make peace with your past; the types of thinking that sabotage your progress; why modern life is making it harder to have a balanced opinion of ourselves; how to develop a positive mindset.
