Summary: A Marriage & Family Therapist from California
Review: Only read this book if you want to change your life. This book is for people who want to help themselves and believe that they have choices in their lives. As a therapist, I believe this concept is one of the most important awarenesses you can have. Once a person accepts this they know they can have more control over their reactions in every life situation. Dr. Stevens book is not to entertain but to give well thought out strategies for rising above difficult situations and moving towards "harmonious functioning", which he defines as having happiness and harmony in your life.

Summary: absolutely useful
Review: This is definitely the best self-help/psychology book I have ever read and used. Dr. Stevens is practical and logical in his analysis of the benefits of happiness and how it is central to our existence. The methods descibed in the book to help you look honestly at yourself are not easy- they require a committment to work everyday but I am finding that my life is becoming happier already. The advice is timeless and once you start using the tips, you'll find, as I did, that you can control your emotions and turn negative thinking to positive thinking and take control of your life. This book is almost guaranteed to make your life and the life of those you love better but only if you are willing to take the effort to be open minded.
