About
From our cars to our computers, we insist on having an accompanying instruction manual. Yet when it comes to operating the most important "device" of all-our own Self-we often remain completely in the dark. No more. In this unprecedented book, expert psychotherapist Jeffrey Bryan offers an illuminating look at our wonderfully complex Selves. His fascinating insights and powerful suggestions are culled from 37 years in the field and over 40,000 clinical interviews. Each chapter stands on its own as a separate area of knowledge, yet also contributes to the bigger picture of the Self. The Manual is both a self-help book and a reference, containing innovative and comprehensive ideas that will inspire both professional and non-professional readers. Throughout the book you'll find: Points of Empowerment: Brief, positive statements summing up the surrounding text. Practices: Revealing exercises designed to help you understand your deepest Self. The Operating Manual for the Self shows you how to work with your thoughts, feelings, and actions in a safe, nonjudgmental way. The Manual helps you identify frustration and pain, and shows you what causes these feelings and how to deal with them. As you understand, encounter and challenge any part of your Self, you'll discover that change can be triggered in several aspects of your Self at once.
