Product Description
For anyone stuck in a bad relationship, for anyone trapped in a job that's unfulfilling, for anyone who drinks too much or uses food as a drug, for anyone whose lifelong dreams have fallen by the wayside-here's help.
Renowned psychiatrist Dr. Keith Ablow offers surprising and effective new strategies for turning the pain of the past into the power of the future. Drawing on more than 15 years of clinical experience, he presents case studies that reveal how ignoring painful memories can negatively affect every aspect of our lives. Acknowledging that examining the past can be daunting, he presents ideas and exercises that are as comforting and rewarding as they are redemptive. Through Ablow's storytelling skills, empathetic voice, and straight-up advice, the experience of reading this book becomes the first step to a brilliant life.

 Really Helped Me May 28, 2008
I disagree with the person who said this was just like every other self-help book he/she had ever read. It was different for me. It really helped me. I discovered the root of my weight problem and I remembered some things in my childhood that shaped my current behavior. I've also been able to remember many details of my childhood that were blocked before. I recommend this book very highly.

He encourages us to examine the incidents that have been so painful in our lives so that we can fully comprehend their impact and work them out with the same compassion we would show someone we love. I feel he has empathy and a true desire to help people understand themselves and others they have to live with.
I liked the book very much.
 Just another $$ pocket liner for a head Doc February 20, 2008

You know I've purchased my share of self-help books, tapes, etc., over several years. This book is no different than the rest. Just another money maker for a doctor who holds you at bay throughout 320 pages. All the while you are thinking he's going to give you the reason for for your dismay in life. This book falls way short of anything.
I'm just in a simple mid-life "is this all there is" crossroads in life at 45 and this book will do nothing for you. The "Truth" is you know all along what you need to do. Don't line anymore overpaid doctor's pockets with purchases of books like these. If it was humorous, that's one thing.
But to lead a nieve purchaser into thinking he's going to "Transform your life through honesty" ?? Ha ha ... let's all get a grip and quit blaming
someone else for your shortcomings. If all it takes to become a doctor
of psychology by being able to write books like this and others then apply for med school and be a psychologist and rake it in like Ablow.
Nice guy but this book is voodoo.
Everyone should read this book!!!! February 1, 2008

Not only did this book help me with issues in my life but it made me realize some things that I didn't know I was bothered by. It started a path for me to actually start living the truth in my life. I cannot see anybody not finding something appealing in this book. It's not about covering things up, punishing the past, it's about learning why throughout the reader's story. Have you ever felt uncertain about something because you just didn't know why? This book helps you to realize the why in your life and sharing your personal story with people in your family can be a very positive thing. Reading the book itself and answering the questionnaires provided a source of therapy that was very unique. Thank you Dr. Keith Ablow!

Dr Keith is a well-known TV personality so when I happened to watch him promoting his book on a morning talk show I was tempted to turn the channel. But he was plain spoken and passionate about the topic of dealing with the reality of one's life and facing one's demons. I bought the book and must say although it is a difficult journey to face one's fears inadequecy's and failures--he gently guides you through the process without allowing for self deprecation but building strenght in oneself based on a foundation of truth. Highly recommend.
