Description
A
groundbreaking book about personal growth that presents a uniquely effective
set of five tools that bring about dynamic change
The Tools offers a solution to
the biggest complaint patients have about therapy: the interminable wait for
change to begin. The traditional therapeutic model sets its sights on the past,
but Phil Stutz and Barry Michels employ an arsenal of techniques-"the
tools"-that allow patients to use their problems as levers that access the power
of the unconscious and propel them into action. Suddenly, through this
transformative approach, obstacles become opportunities-to find courage,
embrace discipline, develop self-expression, deepen creativity.
For years, Stutz and Michels taught these techniques to an exclusive patient
base, but with The Tools, their
revolutionary, empowering practice becomes available to every reader interested
in realizing the full range of their potential. The authors' goal is nothing
less than for your life to become exceptional-exceptional in its resiliency, in
its experience of real happiness, and in its understanding of the human spirit.
"An ‘open secret' in Hollywood . . .
[Stutz and Michels] have developed a program designed to access the creative
power of the unconscious."-The New
Yorker
