Product Description
An easy program for freeing yourself from your mental and emotional traps-and leading the life you want and deserve
"This empowering book will teach, inspire, and coach you to break the habits of insecurity that prevent you from realizing your spontaneous inner potential for genuine happiness."
-John Gray, Ph.D., author of Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus
"There is nothing more empowering than accepting responsibility. Taking responsibility is not about assuming fault; it is about re-taking the helm and control of your journey in life. This book will help you navigate through the difficulties of personality and behavioral change to more emotional peace."
-Dr. Laura Schlessinger, author of The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands
Nobody is born insecure, angry, bored, or depressed. The fact is, happiness is our natural state and, as psychologist Dr. Joseph J. Luciani explains in this warm, witty, and empowering guide, chronic unhappiness is just a bad habit-a habit that can be broken.
It's much easier than you think! Based on Dr. Luciani's twenty-five years of experience helping patients unlearn reflexive, destructive thinking, The Power of Self-Coaching arms you with all the tools you need to free yourself from your mental and emotional traps. As you work through the many self-quizzes, training and coaching exercises, and Power Drills, you'll see yourself anew and feel yourself growing lighter, more spontaneous, and ready to take charge of your life.
A proven five-step program for reconnecting with the innate capacity for happiness, The Power of Self-Coaching gives you what you need to:
* Identify learned patterns of thought and feelings that are making you unhappy
* Use Dr. Luciani's celebrated Self-Talk techniques to develop new, healthy ways of thinking and feeling
* Eliminate boredom, hopelessness, chronic fatigue, and emotional numbness from your life
* Tap your full creative, intellectual, and emotional potential and live the rich, rewarding life you want and deserve

 This can do the trick!, 2008-06-18
I had about given up on feeling better. It was just not meant for me. So I got this CD set (honestly, who could stand reading?) and listened while I drove to work. Then I listened some more. The things Luciani pointed out were so obvious and so stark from what I had over-analyzed before, it made a difference in my life immediately. It's like lending someone your watch so they can tell you what time it is.
If you're read Dale Carnegie's 'How to Stop Worrying...' and agreed with it in principle but just couldn't make the ideas work (I had this problem), this book is very similar - with one exception. It helps you to see the self-sabotage going on inside you head. I see the two books as being very similar, but Self-Coaching gives you the ammo. It helps you recognize what's going on - when it's happening. And then it gives you the tools to combat it.
This CD is absolutely making a positive impact in my life. I continue to listen time to time to remember nuances or when I need a hand, but things are getting better. I keep working at the very simple ideas and that propels me on. I am glad I took the chance with this CD set. If you've about given up, I suggest you give it a shot.

 Basic stuff, though well-written, 2008-03-23
On the good side, this book is well-written, flows nicely from paragraph to paragraph, and is very easy to read. On the bad side, I simply didn't find anything deeply insightful like I was expecting. It is fairly simplistic book about developing a better relationship with yourself, and is probably best suited for someone who is starting out on this path. As someone who has done a bit of self-analysis and self-improvement over the years, I feel this book simply didn't offer anything new or have enough compelling content to earn a recommendation. If you are looking for something that is more meaty, I think there are better choices out there.

The Power of Self-Coaching - The Five Essential Steps to Creating the Life You Want, 2007-11-01
It's spooky really. The more I read this book, it seems the more the author is "reading" me! I'm not yet finished, but can say without a doubt there's something for everyone here. The last part of the sub-title, "creating the life you want", pretty much sums it up.

At last, a true good read. If you follow, it will come!!, 2007-10-25
I have found many books and articles on this topic but this one stands alone. It is the refreshing way in which the problems are solved, not the symptoms. I was in a place I simply hated, and all aspects of my life were involved. I didn't know where to start, but knew something had to be done. They say the first step is the toughest, but buying this book made it easier. I refuse not let myself get to that place again. I have been taught how it happens and I am in control. If you truley want to make a change for the better TODAY, then start by buying this book. You will never get as much for so little!!

looking in a mirror, 2007-06-14
I didn't like the book at first. But that is characteristic of anyone seeing something in themselves that needs to be changed. After going through the book 3 times and using it as a practical guide I am remembering how to like myself again. My "what if's" don't have to rule my life.
