Publisher Description
Exposing the self-help myths that make us all more miserable. This is what your psychologist would really tell you–if he thought you could handle it!
This is the kick up the backside the self-help genre needs: an intelligent, provocative and thought-provoking expose of the modern myths that we’re told make us happier, but in reality screw us up.
Clinical psychologist, Dr Stephen Briers shines a light into the dark corners of self-help and explodes the myths, false hopes, quack philosophies and unrealistic expectations it routinely advocates. It is a refreshing antidote to the `same old same old’ approaches, offering a radical re-think of the way we approach problems in our lives, offering empowering new perspectives and expert advice on avoiding the biggest life traps. Dr Briers questions the perceived wisdom, shakes up the status quo, and encourages us to think again.

Customer Reviews
Insightful, funny and thought provoking, worth reading
I heard about this book by chance from a snatched excerpt from a radio interview and quickly wrote down the title. It was definitely worth it as this book is thoroughly enjoyable and thought provoking. The writers style is conversational but not belittling and the points he raises are certainly valid. I'll be recommending this book to friends as I think there is a lot to be learnt from stopping and thinking about how much we take for granted as 'fact' in this age of popular psychology.
