Best Self-Help Book
As a therapist myself, this book is spot on. Easy to read, not wordy. Don't have to read entire book, just go to your issue.

The Portable Therapist by Susanna McMahon
The Portable Therapist is a valuable tool which helps me to focus on what is important in my life. I found it so encouraging that I bought several copies for friends who have expressed an interest as I told them about some of the topics in this book. A wonderful handbook to keep for reference whenever something might bother me.

Trascends the "self-help" industry, gives decent answers to common questions
This handy little book doesn't fit the mold of what you'd expect to find in the realm of "self-help." The book is laid out in little (2-3 page) answers to very common questions that people -- ALL people -- will ask at some point in their lives. It also provides compelling arguments that "self-love" is not equivalent to what we typically refer to as "selfishness." I bought two copies: one for myself, and one to loan out to friends.

Great book
Needed this book for a class, and I actually enjoyed the book even though I hate to read. Came in time to use it. Thanks

Great book!
This book was very insightful, and changed my outlook on life in a positive way. The title doesn't do it any justice. It's a great read if you're feeling low, and even if you're not.

Easy to read, makes sense!
I'm 41 & this is the first self help style book I've ever read which was how it was advertised, if you've never read one before this is a good one! The chapters are very short, simple to the point & it's more of a quick guide with help you can take on straight away. It's not just about change but about acceptance that is a strong word throughout the book. Covers all aspects of issues we may encounter & starts off each chapter with the kind of questions you may ask yourself such as "why is life unfair", "why do I pick the wrong relationship". Plus how to change years of mind set as to how we're "supposed to" be or how we're "supposed to" feel because that's what is expected of you. Also reminds you to live in the moment, not the past etc.. It also reinforced stuff I was thinking but needed a quick prompt to simply say, that's ok.

Short pages with a lot of insights
I recently received this product, and I couldn't be happier with its timely arrival. What truly captivated me was the author's insightful organization of analyses per topic. It's like embarking on a journey through thought-provoking landscapes, each chapter unveiling new vistas of understanding. What makes this work truly exceptional is the author's courageous departure from Western social norms, offering a perspective that's both refreshing and enlightening. By distancing herself from conventional views, she invites readers to explore topics with an open mind and a willingness to embrace diverse perspectives. This approach fosters a deeper connection with the material, igniting a sense of curiosity and exploration. Overall, I found this product to be a warm and inviting companion on the quest for knowledge, enriching my understanding of various subjects in ways I hadn't imagined. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking a profound and insightful journey through the realms of thought.
