What You Can Change and What You Can’t: The Complete Guide to Successful Self-Improvement
Self Improvement
In the climate of self-improvement that pervades our culture, there is an overwhelming amount of information about treatments for everything from alcohol abuse to sexual dysfunction. Much of this information is exaggerated if not wholly inaccurate. As a result, people who try to change their own troubling conditions often experience the frustration of mixed success, success followed by a relapse, or outright failure.
To address this confusion, Martin Seligman has meticulously analyzed

|Extraordinary – Do yourself a favor – Order this book – NOW,
This is a book that everyone should own. In this book, Dr. Seligman wades through the swamp of self-help, psycho-babble,new-age gurus, common-sense ideas that “everyone” knows , medical thought, etc, etc in order to discover- WHAT REALLY WORKS. Not what we wish would work, not what seems like it should work, not what common wisdom believes works but what in clinical trials of real people has been demonstrated to work. What percentage has been helped, what are the side-effects and has this help been long-term or transitory. It is extremely readable, instructive and down to earth. He addresses the current state of treatment for: Anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, obsessions, depression, anger, post-traumatic stress, sex, dieting, alcohol. For most of these topics I learned more in his one chapter than in the several books which I have read on them. If you are on a diet, about to begin a diet, or considering professional help in one of the areas above – please read the chapter in this book first. You will save yourself an incredible amount of time, money and heartbreak in the long run. It will also give you the best chance of actually solving the problem since you will be directed towards the most effective treatment right from the beginning of treatment rather than (hopefully) eventually finding it by trial and error. I only hope that Dr Seligman writes an updated version of this book sometime in the near future in order to keep up with new research findings.

|Depressive Realism Applied to Self-Improvement Attempts,
With all the authority of a long and distinguished reseach career in psychology, Martin Seligman sets out to present something like a consumer guide to self-improvement and psychotherapy. (This is not a recipe book for dealing with your problems.)
The results are sobering: from the range of most frequent psychological afflictions, only a few will reliably be relieved by treatment. You can – with appropriate help from a responsible mental health professional – do something about
– panic attacks
– specific phobias (snakes, spiders, flying, etc.)
– sexual dysfunctions.
With other problems, such as depression and addiction, “moderate relief” is the best psychiatrists have to offer, often (when psychoactive medication is used) at a considerable price.
Beyond that,
– enjoy your sexual orientation,
– enjoy your weight (dieting will improve it upwards, in the long run),
– stop blaming unsatisfactory results of your adult life on your childhood and your parents – it won’t do you any good, and there is much less of a causal relationship anyway.
All this is presented clearly, with “whys” and “hows”, and with ample references. If you consider undergoing psychotherapy, or if you’re stuck with a self-improvement attempt, this book may save you lots of money and trouble. (Being more or less left to your own devices may be a letdown, but it may also give you a realistic chance to cope with your situation.)
If you’re professionally working in the mental health field, you will find much food for thought as well, especially in Seligman’s candid statements about the many relevant questions that have not yet been scientifically settled or which even have not been researched at all. And unless you’re a practicioner of that method, you may be slightly amused with the author’s treatment of psychoanalysis – with disorder after disorder, it doesn’t have much of an effect… Given the way our culture is soaked with psychoanalytic beliefs and assumptions, this is something that can’t be said often enough

|The Must-Have Guide for Self-Helpers,
As a navel-gazing self-help junkie, I was surprised and a little annoyed when I discovered this book — after all, I thought to myself, who can tell me what I can or cannot do? Never mind that I was overwhelmed with boatloads of conflicting information — I didn’t think ANYONE had the answers, and that it was necessary to try everything once. Well, thank God for Dr. Seligman. The book is a brilliantly simple yet deep exploration of the research available on treatments for various conditions — and it turns out that there ARE answers available regarding what works and what doesn’t. (And what you shouldn’t even bother trying.) This book is a valuable resource for anyone trying to make sense of the self-help and treatment industries.
