THE HEALTHY MIND TOOLKIT Simple Strategies To Get Out Of Your Own Way and Enjoy Your Life

Narrator Teri Schnaubelt's assertive performance is a good vehicle for Alice Boyes's clear thinking, incisive writing, and can-do spirit. The author's strategies are broad ranging, often ingenious, and largely behavioral. The behavioral quality gives many of them a mechanical quality that will appeal to left-brain listeners--people who like to think their way through life by pushing aside ambiguity and not accepting excuses. The dogged determination in Schnaubelt's tone exaggerates this aspect of the author's approach and may sound too aggressive to listeners who are more cautious about personal growth. But listeners who are looking for advice will find a host of strategies that foster more control over the bad habits and emotional ruts all of us can fall into when we stop paying attention to ourselves.
