SynopsisStop talking about your past and start creating your future Anticipating a positive future is the key to well-being and mental health. Yet when many people think of the future, they experience anxiety, depression, fear, and self-doubt. Unaware of how to change the future, most people are trapped in a cycle of re-creating their past. But your past does not have to define who you are or where you are going -- you can break free. Future Directed Therapy (FDT) is a new psychotherapy that helps people create their future with awareness and choice, with skills based on cutting-edge cognitive science. Think Forward to Thrive is filled with information and step-by-step exercises to help you: * Overcome negative emotions * Identify what you want in life * Transform limiting beliefs * Take action * Live ready for success

Positive Psychology that works
I had seen the writer's TED talk and had ordered her book the day after. The book is pretty bigger than regular book size, pale yellow pages are easy to read and it has lots of exercises in it that gives me a feeling that it is actually a workbook for achieving a better life based on science and psychological research. I love it!!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
