10 Steps to Take Charge of Your Emotional Life: Overcoming Anxiety, Distress, and Depression Through Whole-Person Healing

I am only on chapter 3, or step 3 of the 10 steps. So far I have gained a very real, honest and educated understanding of emotional health. Dr. Wood has many real-life examples that make sense. Somewhere along the line you'll find a connection and thus, gain understanding. One thing she takes into consideration is...there is no one size fits all.

I have found this book as a wonderful tool, I am sure that it can make a difference in someone's life if they really read and use the proposed tools that it has, I have obtained really good results in my personal progress by taking into consideration many of the suggestions that Dr Wood does. Knowing yourself concepts that she proposed are effective, to the point and really clearly explained...really all the book is that way. This book is so complete mainly for someone that is looking for literature that focuses on mind, body & spirit healing. I have share some of the ideas that I have learned with my friends, collegues and some psychologist friends of mine, this has come a highly interesting conversation topic and some of them are adquiring this book to keep on learning and helping their personal growth & healing process.
