It's Not As Tough As You Think

Life can be much easier if we cut its problems down to bite size... or at least put on some tenderizer. Too often we do just the reverse. We magnify small problems and make the softer ones tougher. After ministering to over 40,000 people 10 years as a rabbi and 35 years as a psychiatrist Dr. Abraham J. Twerski shares with us some of the invaluable insights he has gained through his extensive experience. Sure, there are many stresses in daily living, but we can take distress out of stress. We can modify our attitudes, use coping techniques, and reach out for help. Even big challenges can be dealt with effectively. Dr. Twerski shows how we can put a different spin on things, so that we can be more productive and happier. Here are just a few of the many ideas you'll find in this book:

• There's Magic in a Smile
• Stress Can Be Beneficial
• Some Mountains Melt into Molehills
• Lack of Success Is Not Equivalent to Failure
• You're More Okay than Not. We are often told, ""Don't just stand there! Do something!"" O.K., but what? In this book Dr. Twerski points out some of the things we can do. His simple, down-to-earth ideas are refreshing in a world of complexities. New popular compact size 5-1/2"" x 6-1/2
